So this wasn’t such a bad weigh-in, but I did gain, not a lot though, which I am happy about. I gained .04 lbs, not bad right? No, it’s not, but I didn’t want to gain anything at all. I’d rather not lose anything, than gain. But it is only 0.4 lbs, which is a big relief! I’m starting to eat regular meals not so much Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones, I don’t even like Smart Ones anymore, they just don’t have a large enough variety. Healthy Choice is another I like. But I don’t like having to spend extra money to get my meals. I have to learn to stay under my calories, when I eat everyday things, but on that same note. We try to buy things that are low in calories, like Salad Dressing, the kind I use now is only 15 calories for 2 tablespoons, nice right? So I try to look for things, that won’t break the bank so to speak :D And there you Continue Reading
Weigh-in #2 – Exciting Journey
I'm happy to report that in my weigh-in yesterday, I lost 3.1 pounds in a week since it’s a weekly weigh-in, not sure if I am going to say it like that. Or just how much, we’ll see. So things are going smoothly. Sometimes I feel I’m losing weight slowly, but in retrospect, I think that much weight loss in a week is pretty good. The weekly weight loss varies though, anywhere from no calories lost to 5, the most I’ve lost in one week was 5 lbs, which is a lot, and the least amount I lost was zero, but what makes me happy is I have not gained any weight, yay. I already feel a difference. Especially walking up and down the stairs, was such a hurdle for me before the weight loss and I can’t tell you how happy it has made me feel. I’m still at 1,600 calories a day. Lately, I haven’t been getting 1,600, I’ve averaged from 1,200 to 1,400 Continue Reading
I’m Disappointed In Myself
That title sure grabs a person’s interest. What did I do to disappoint myself? Well as mentioned in my previous post, I started dieting. Trying it on my own counting calories. Until you do this, you begin to realize how many calories really are in the food. It’s shocking. 2 oz of spaghetti noodles has about 200 calories, it also can depend on how it’s prepared, that’s cooked spaghetti, anyway 2 oz is not very much, I had about 6 or 7 oz it came out to a lot, let’s put it like that, and then with the other items I went over my daily calorie intake, and it just bummed me out, because I felt I was doing great. I wouldn’t be surprised if I gained a pound, just from that day alone. Needless to say, I’m trying to make up for it. So even though it bummed me out, I carry on, because I need to. Yesterday I went over 9 calories, not too bad, but Continue Reading
