"There will never be the 'perfect' time and condition to do a workout. You have to create it" M. Lauren
Today was the day to try muscle milk. YUCK!!! It was gritty, and tasted nasty and left a bad taste in my mouth. I drank it all though because they aren't cheap and I needed the protein. But I won't buy it again. The other one I tried by EAS was much better. Good to know right? This is why I am sampling different kinds.
Work out went ok, my right knee has issues once in awhile and today was one of those days. I'm not saying I didn't workout because I did I just tried to be good to my knee and not push it for fear of having more bad days because of it. I had aggravated it once before from jogging and it was a couple weeks before it was better. Lesson learned there. Listen to your body. So I did one exercise that involved deep knee bending and then replaced the other with sit-ups and leg lifts instead. I figure it is better to replace the exercise with another than to hurt myself.

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.
