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.

Closest ever

Well today I came the closest ever to 2150. I only missed it by 4 calories!!! Of course I probably shouldn't be too proud because I had lunch out today and that was what got me close. But it was really yummy.

Water was back up but only to half of what it should be. Of course half is better than zero right? If you can't tell I am that perverbial 'glass half full' kind of person.

I know not too exciting today but it wasn't an exciting day. Can't make something into something it's not ;-) In other words, it is what it is.

Totals for today

Calories 2146
