Well its day 10 already! Yesterday was a pretty active 'all over the show' day, I did feel a few periods of dry mouth, which I don't have a problem with as it prompts me to drink water, just thought id record the symptom.
I slept like a log again and when the alarm went off I didn't wana get outa bed haha, but as soon as my feet touched the floor I was up n going.
I've started a habit, which Ive been rolling with for the most part of my 10 days AND its very simple, I write down on a little note book my calorie intake with everything that touches my lips , I also log the ruff amount Ive drank too.
Im keeping to a calorie buffer of 1200-1600ish. I've checked a lot of sites regard my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) ie: the amount of calories needed to keep/maintain your body (Science!!), also the amount needed to loose weight.
The average over the handful of sites check is around 2500 cals to maintain my weight, then 2200 to loose .7 kgs a week. I found those numbers felt way high, I tried super low in the first couple days which wasn't recommended so now Im' trying my band of 1200 - 1600ish, active days my intake is higher (naturally) non-active days lower, n I think its working ok so far, if I find myself getting more tiered, ill push the band up a bit, 1400 - 1800 kinder thing.
thanks guys, (sorry for the novel)
