New year, new you! Isn’t that what the Weight Watcher ads all say?

Egads, I hate that word “resolution” especially when it’s not backed up by motivation or action. But here we go with another year…and renewed enthusiasm. I always enjoy working out when the weather cold, coz I don’t have as many problems with overheating, and I’m always able to push the envelope just a little farther.

I got a new coach to help me focus on my personal goals. She took one look at my macros and exclaimed at the fat %. So now I’ll be topping out at 31g fat for my daily allowance. (Goodbye butter, cheese, mayo.)

So my daily totals should come out to:

 

• 158g Carbs
• 122g Protein
• 31g Fat
• 20g Fiber

 

Per sitting (assuming mealtimes), I’m looking at 50g carbs, 30g protein and 9g fat. 

We did arrive at an RMR of 1282 and agreed on my daily caloric intake of 1400. However, she recommended that I stop logging my exercise cals burned so I would have a better picture of my food diary. (I am puzzled by this because it sounds like I’m not eating my exercise calories back.)

Oh yeah and I’m also supposed to be drinking 11-12 glasses of water. 

Based on these metrics, it sounds like I’ll be dropping the weight and body fat % significantly! Let’s see how it looks in 2 weeks and if I’ll be making some progress on my goal weight objectives.
