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.

Good News

“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” -Lewis Carroll

Good news today. It is Saturday and that's weigh in day. I didn't think I would have lost anything this week but I stepped on the scale anyway this morning and was surprised to see I had lost 4 pounds this week! It was a great way to start the day.

Now the bad news is I tried and tried but was still over 600 calories short today. Damn it. I even broke into the Halloween candy hoping to make up some difference and those mini candy bars aren't adding up to much. I think 2 of them added up to about 150 calories. That wasn't a help at all. I got a chocolate fix even though I didn't want it.

Now what was it I said a few days ago about do-overs?
