Here’s what I had today:

  • My coffee, 250
  • 2 granola bars, 200
  • Hamburger (like yesterday), 700
  • Misc. chips, 300
  • Chicken enchiladas, 600
  • 15 Frosted Mini Wheats, 150

  • Total Calories: 2200

I’m starting to wonder if ~2,000 calories a day is the sweet spot here.
I think I can lose weight and feel good on that. And not have to eat rabbit food doing.

Day 1

All right, let’s see how we did today. All I really did was make sure I kept track of everything I ate, but that was actually a big accomplishment. It made me think about what I was eating before I actually did it. Here’s how it turned out:

  • My coffee, 250
  • McD’s sausage McMuffin with egg, 450
  • Homemade grilled hamburger, 700
  • Granola bar, 90
  • 6 oz. pork chop, 360
  • 1 cup apple sauce, 140

  • Grand Total: 1990 Calories

My food selection for the day wasn’t the greatest (lotsa fat calories in there, I’m sorry to say), but I made it through the day without going overboard on anything. That’s a lot more than I can say for the several months before now.

It’s a start.

So why not this week? My motivation level is actually going up. Thing is, in the past, once I get going, I feel so good that motivation generally isn’t an issue after the first few weeks. I’ve got the tools in place…now it’s just a matter of doing it. A few other [...]

So, tomorrow is Monday. What’s holding me back from getting going on this thing tomorrow? My complete lack of will? Apathy?
I’m still trying to figure out what.

Weight Watchers

I just found out today that our insurance will cover at least part of the fees for Weight Watchers. I’m not convinced, though, that that’s going to be my best option. I really need to get on it, though. I had hoped to have some weight gone b y the end of [...]
