On myfitnesspal, and I was set at trying to lose 2lbs a week which actually had me at losing 1.2 lbs per week since it won't tell me to eat under 1200/cals. I changed it to lose 1Lb/week and it bumped me up to 1300 calories a day, with 3, 30 minute work outs so a burn of just over 500 calories a week.
As for calories, one thing I don't track is my alcohol calories. Which I know is totally cheating but I honestly didn't think it would make that big of a difference. Now that I'm really getting serious and wanting actual changes I think it's time to *gasp* cut it out completely D: not in the "Hi, my names Sabrina and I'm an alcoholic" sense but in the "Okay, mayyyyybe I don't need 3 glasses of wine before bed tonight" kinda way. I'll have to find a new hobby I suppose. Knitting, perhaps.
Hopefully these changes help, but really I've been losing about a lb a week thus far so I really shouldn't be complaining. I guess we'll see how the progress is in 2 weeks when I weigh-in again.

I feel weird.
Well, I'm going to start out with saying that I'm going to officially bow out of the Give Yourself The Best Gift Challenge. I wish all the other bloggers lots of luck though! I just feel like I need something fresh and it seems like it's gone on forever. I did enjoy it while I was a part but it's sort of time for me to move on, in a sense.
I'm feeling really overwhelmed lately with the thought of the holidays coming and things that I want to do or things that need to be done. I feel tired all of the time. I really need to get back to the C25K but I've been having a hard time feeling motivated which was what I was worried about when I had to stop but it is what it is. I keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow, next week, later tonight... and then I just never do. Never seem to have the time while having nothing but time. Well tomorrow is the last day of November, so let's hope with a new month comes new motivation.
It gets dark so early now, I wake up these days and think wow another nice day.. We'll go for a walk today but by the time I get around to it, 4pm it's pitch black outside! Probably explains the lack of energy these days... seems to suck the life out of you when it's dark all day, every day.
I've been sticking to 1200/cal a day, but I don't feel to be getting the weight loss I've been looking for... I haven't weighed in for about 2 weeks but I feel fatter then ever. I've been thinking of upping my calories but the thought of it really makes me... nervous? I don't want to gain what I've lost, but really it seems like I'm just maintaining as it is. I don't know... I wish this was easier.
Lots of Christmas baking in the next few days, good thing I don't have much of a sweet tooth lol. I'm baking for our landlord and a family friend. Finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping tomorrow and maybe picking up a few decorations if I find anything interesting. Lifes boring these days.
