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.

Lapsing into old habits

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.” -Tom Krause

I have GOT to stop missing meals. Damn it! I do that and then have to cram as much as I can into a few meals/snacks and that is NOT the way this is supposed to work. I'm telling you just the thought of eating makes me cringe cause I have to eat, then a few hours later eat again and I'm not hungry. OY! It's hard work.

And my lack of eating is reflected in my numbers.

Numbers for today
