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.

Still not eating enough

"Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us." Sir Winston Churchill

Good grief how hard is it to eat and why am I having such issues. It seems all I do is eat! ARGH!!!

I even got dinner out hoping that would help. Well let's look at it this way. The 21st is my birthday and an official cheat day. I am writing nothing down for that day so I guess by coming in way under the gun this week it will help when I am eating my steak and loaded baked potato and who knows what else.

My luck I'll be sick the next day from eating all that good stuff. I can't win right?

Ok back to today. I finally bought some protein powder. I decided to go with the EAS only because I had tried their ready made stuff and liked it and I was tired of reading about protein powders. Yeesh. Ok so the powder is only 25g of protein but I can also have more than one a day. I can put it in water or milk although I would think the milk would taste better. Time will tell.

Totals for today
