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.

Someday I'm going to surprise you

“Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.” - Author Unknown

You heard me. Someday I will actually get this together and be eating more than the 2150 calories per day. I know we all have dreams right? Try not to quash mine will ya? I'm getting as tired of failing at this as you are reading about it. Believe me.

Tomorrow is a trip to the grocery store and hopefully find something exciting, healthy and come closer to the goal.

Ah,ah, ah! I said no quashing the dreams people. It is my pipe dream, let me have it at least until I go to the store and find out that this exciting, healthy thing does not actually exist. I may have better luck finding Damon the hottie cabana boy in the grocery aisle right?
