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.

Going to have to regroup

I am going to have to get my shit together. I can't keep going under my goal of 2150 day after day. It is counterproductive to my goals. I need to plan better meals and not miss any.

I must have a protein at every meal!!!!

I didn't get my workout in today as sometimes I get tired after donating platelets so today became my off day instead of tomorrow.

Water was better but still only got half of what I should have.
Calories were way low as was that pesky protein.

This is all just a learneing curve and I will get better at it.

Totals for today

Calories 1557
Fat 61
Carbs 190
Protein 43
8oz. glasses of water 4
