"Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way." -Les Brown
I say I am changing up the work out and that is true in a way. I have started a construction project for my niece so there is lots of sawing, lifting, etc. Using hand tools instead of electric which will only help the arm workout. It's been a fun couple of days but it is progressing and I am exhausted by the end of the day. I am spending almost all day working on it because once I start in on it I hate to quit.
I ate on the run for lunch as I was running some errands and then forgot to eat dinner because I was working on 'The Project' (I think that is a good name for it) and didn't remember to eat till 9pm!!! Bad me. Then I hadn't been to the grocery store yet and I had a bit of taco meat left which I was able to stretch into 2 tacos. So between that and the fast food lunch I went a bit over the limit.
I did, however, remember my protein shakes and had one of those as part of a snack as well as drinking 6 glasses of water.
Tomorrow is my official cheat day so don't be looking for any numbers on 10/21 because there won't be any. But maybe it isn't a cheat day. It's my birthday and in birthday-world there is no such thing as diets so therefore there would be nothing to cheat on. I know it's a stretch but it's a funny one you have to give me credit for the humor if nothing else. Right?

Another diet blog? Really?
Yes really. Why? Well why not? I am soon to be 45, have been overweight most of my life and I'm ready to do something about it. I quit smoking a year ago this month and decided I needed to make another huge life change this month. Lose weight.
That brings us to 2150 calories per day.
When I calculated what I needed to eat to lose the weight I want (a really huge goal of 100lbs) I figured how hard can this be?
I knew the exercising would be hard, I knew it was a huge commitment but who thought eating 5 meals per day every 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hrs and totaling 2150 calories could be so hard?
I thought the eating would be the easy part.
Boy was I wrong.
So join me as I attempt my huge undertaking. Some days I'll succeed, some days I know I will fail then have to pick myself up and start again. But with this blog I hope to bring a smile to some faces with my odd sense of humor and I'm sure there will be a tear here and there as well.
If the exercise doesn't kill me (bodyweight training) the 2150 calories certainly will.
