I think there's something wrong with my scale. I know that sounds nuts. I weighed myself yesterday, and again today, and somehow I have gained 12 pounds. seems impossible huh? so, I'm witholding judgement on the weight until I get a new battery.
DH still has heard nothing about job. I don't know how much longer I can stand it. I took a nice walk yesterday, and discovered that I need new shoes. my left foot felt like it was going to split right down the arch. guess I'll go do that today. I have to do better.I've decided to keep track of calories and be as honest as poosible. right now it is 12:00 and I have eaten:
big bowl ofcereal w/2% milk: cals: 224 +276 (milk)=500cals, 10 fat grams (% cals from fat=2)
most of a 16 ounce coke: 169 (est)
1 8 ounce slim fast shake made with 2% milk: 220 cals, 9 g fat
total so far today: 720 cals, 19FG % cals from fat 2.6
I have tried to keep things simple, but it really seems to help if I just keep it written down. I did that with weight watchers, and it did help. my goal is to keep my calorie intake below 2000. I need,according to my new favorite website, 3116 calories to maintain. so I guess I'll be more careful and watch the portions.
also going to try narder to take walks. might go take one now, actually.
my new favorite website:
www.nutritiondata.com
gives you calories per serving, fat, all that stuff, also has helpful calculators.
I saw this thing at wally world called the step diet. instead of relating things to calories, fat etc., it tells you how many steps you'll have to take to get rid of it.
use more than you take in. seems so simple, so why is it so hard?
love, peace and patience
