Too much Biggest Loser...

So I know today is weigh in Monday but I just cant get over my fear of posting my weight for all my friends and family and strangers to see. Maybe next week.I have the post all written up, but I just cant seem to hit the post button!!

 I will report that I lost 5lbs this past week!! I am so beyond excited to be losing weight. I guess I just wish it was more. I know that sounds horrible, but I have been working my tail off, eating only 1200 calories a day and I feel at that rate I should have lost more. Or maybe I have been watching too much biggest loser and was hoping for like a 20lb weight loss in one week kinda thing. HA! But that doesn't happen to people outside the biggest loser or maybe it does if you weight that much. Which thankful I don't. So I will take my 5lbs and shoot for another 5lbs next week.

The Hubs and I made a deal at the beginning of last week. The deal was if I ate clean for 3 days I could get a calorie and heart rate monitor. He at first was like go ahead and get one, but then I started thinking about all my failed attempts to lose weight and decided to give myself and challenge and he agreed. So I did my eating clean, which I'm still doing, and I ordered my calorie and heart rate tracker.

I LOVE IT!! I wore it all day yesterday to see what my daily calorie burn was and in 24 hours I burned 3,775 calories!! I didn't even work out yesterday!! So I'm excited to see what happens today when I work my tail off at the Gym.

So you know it takes 3500 calories to burn a pound. So if I naturally burn 3700 I would burn a pound a day but I kinda need to eat. haha. So, doing some math here, If I eat 1200 calories a day that leaves an extra 2500 calories a day and if you times that by 7 and then divide by 3500 you come up with exactly 5lbs a week. Which is what I lost last week. But I also worked out last week, which means I burnt more calories which means I should have had more. But like I said I will take it and move on to next week and losing 5 more pounds.

Here's a few pictures of my new toy.

Thats almost 24 hours of calories burned =)

 

 And then this thing around my belly is how it tracks the calories and my heart rate

 

Love love love it. If anyone is looking to lose weight this thing is amazing, I think it pushes me more because I know exactly how many calories I need to burn a day to lose weight and if I haven't hit it yet, I can go run and make sure I do hit it.

 

So here is to sticking with it and hopefully having a good week =)
