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.

11/6 update

My bad I failed to update this on Saturday so here goes.

Weigh in wasn't a loss or a gain so that's ok.

Started using my protein powder. Tried it with water and it's ok but kind of well watery so I thought I would add it to chocolate milk instead. It's better that way, less watery for lack of better description, and I obviously need the calories as well seeing as I can't eat like I'm supposed to.
I still need to learn to add more protein into my day but baby steps here.

Totals for today
