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.

Friday 10/22 catch-up

I missed posting on Friday. Oops. My bad. If it makes it any better I had good reason. I spent 7 hours working on a sandbox for my niece and let me tell ya I worked my ass off. But I got a great workout and was exhausted at the end of the day. I took a shower, ate something and I was out for the night.

If anyone cares the sandbox looks awesome and I think she will love it as her Christmas present.

Ok back to me. Easting didn't go so well. I really worry about eating way under my goal because my goal is based on the resting metabolism rate for my goal weight. In other words the minimum needed to let the body do its thing without me moving. So if I'm not meeting that minimum I am not doing my body any favors. I was close today but that doesn't make it better. A goal is a goal and I am not eating near what I should be.

Totals for today
