I am not sure how I get behind on posting. I could have sworn I was on time, but my last post says I posted on the 9th, and in that post I was late, so that means I didn’t post 10th & 11th, and 17th & 18th that just does not make sense (I’ll get it sorted). I noticed google had an update, but I don’t think that would affect my posts. Wow, I am off today, I was on the wrong browser LOL. Hmm okay so catch uptime. I weighed in on May 10, 2014, and I lost 0.08 lbs, not a whole lot, but still, it is a loss, although I wish it was more. I felt as if I had lost track of what I am doing. Well not exactly what I am doing, but I mean in reference to keeping track of what I weigh. I record each weigh-in, so I have that to fall back on if my memory screws up hehe. Which is what I just did to be able to sort out what I lost and gained. Continue Reading
Dieting and Me
So it has been a while since I posted. I have been super busy with some of my other websites, but now that I have that in order *yay* I can start blogging normally. So the last I posted about was the biggest loser, I’m not going to get into that, instead, I am going to briefly talk about my dieting, as the title suggests. In January 2014, I decided to finally fulfill one of my New Years' resolutions, I’m trying to do more than one but a big one that a lot of us have a hard time keeping up with is losing weight. So I dove right in. I found out what my calorie intake should be, it’s 1,660, and I have been doing wonderful. Being that the weather has been so cold, going out and walking was not an option because I have a bad knee and I don’t want to risk walking and slipping and re-injuring my knee, because that will lead to hospital time 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
I Hate Being Hungry!
I think the worst part of a diet, is not the exercise, well I guess that is too lol but it’s adjusting to not eating, what you normally were eating, or should I say the portion size. The first few weeks, you go hungry. I hate that! I can’t even be near the kitchen, because I get hungry haha. I try to drink water when I get hungry, it helps fill me up. I’m trying to stay under 1,660 (corrected) calories a day, some may think that is a lot, but I think for myself it’s ideal at this time, perhaps later it will change. But as mentioned, it’s just those moments when I feel the hunger pangs. I can’t wait until I get passed that phase. As for exercise, it’s difficult for me, as my knees are bad. I injured one over 5 years ago, and have not been able to have a doctor look at it. It’s bad enough I just got a bill, that was not fully covered, Continue Reading
