Hello inter webs! :-) I know I missed a couple of days but I just started using this app on my Android phone, MyFitnessPal. I have been having a lot of fun entering the foods I eat and the exercise I do, and making it come out under budget on my net calories for the day. Beware the foods you love may not be calorie friendly. I have pinpointed THIS as the reason for my unsuccessful weight loss. I figured if I'm not eating as much I'll loose weight. As logical as that sounds, eating only half of a 900 calorie sandwich is still 450 calories. On HALF OF A SANDWICH. This is when I decided that knowledge is power and to loose weight, I was going to have to know exactly what I was putting in my body! So for the last 3 days I have been logging every bite I eat and striving to make better choices. Today for example:
Breakfast- 1 cinnamon bagel-270 calories
4 tablespoons if creamy peanut butter 380 calories
Sir made my bagel, I wouldn't have put so much pb on it :-) but I'm not stupid. Don't complain about food you didn't have to make. *Grin*
Lunch- Salad bar at Jason's Deli, no cheese, low fat french dressing, a fruit cup w/o the dip, and an unsweetened black currant tea. Totaling 260 calories.
Dinner was 2 cups of Honey Bunches of oats and 1 cup of 1% milk. Totaling 420 calories.
My exercise for the day included walking @ 2mph for 45 minutes Shopping at Sam's. This burnt 200 calories.
Going for a brisk walk around the pond for 45 minutes will be burning 240 calories.
All of this will put me under budget on calories for the day by 310 calories! Woot!
No one ever said loosing weight could be fun. In the future I'll post before pictures and you all can help keep me motivated. Deal?
Talk to ya later.
