So yesterday I ate about half as much as the day before (probably), and I'm down a little over 1 lb. I wasn't hungry yesterday, either, so that tells me I'm still eating out of stress, boredom, or just because the food was there. Gotta work on that. The leftovers are gone, and it's time to make a new meal plan for next week. Since hubby bought a huge container of cashews, I've decided to make some Cashew Chicken sometime next week. The thing about leftovers is, they give us something to eat for lunch the next day - we've REALLY cut down on eating out, and hubby is the kind of guy that can eat the same thing several times a week. But, we had a LOT of leftovers!
I also recorded a great deal of movement yesterday, but not all of it was exercise. You actually burn more calories from activities of daily living, sometimes called NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). It's pretty simple, the more you move the more calories you burn. So, walking the dog burns calories. Cleaning the kitchen burns calories. Decorating my house for Halloween burns calories. However, sitting on my a$$ watching TV doesn't appear to burn calories, LOL! So, YES to exercise but also YES to just getting up and moving!
