As you may remember, back in on November 3 I posted about the secrets to losing weight with oatmeal and surmised that based on traditional math I should have lost four pounds by changing my morning breakfast to oatmeal with no toppings. It would seem that the four pounds I lost went out and made friends because instead of losing four pou
nds I have managed to gain four pounds.
It would seem that it takes more than one workout a week and oatmeal for breakfast to not gain weight over the holidays. It is with great reluctance that I now trade in my 200 calorie latte for a boring little 25 calorie cup of coffee with cream. Back to the math…
200 – 25 = 175 calorie per day savings
3500 / 175 = 20 days to lose a pound
Let’s hope this, along with picking back up the second day a week at the gym, and having all of the holiday food in the past will help me shed a few pounds by Valentine’s Day!
