Day 1
First day of my fitness/weight loss tracking. Wanted to start a record of the whole ordeal because I think it helps me to stay motivated. I also think it may be helpful to see how many calories I’m actually eating and how many I should be eating to lose as much weight as I want.
I don’t normally buy into to the whole notion of calorie-counting and such. It seems so unnatural to me. Normally, I like to think that just eating healthy and being active is enough. Which apparently, IS enough to keep one in shape if one is ALREADY in shape. But I’m not, sooooo here I am, counting calories and such. Well, I figured whatever it takes to get me motivated and keep me from thinking about being hungry has got to help.
I’m actually looking forward to working out tonight. Not for the actual workout part (which sucks! I hate you “Core Synergistics”) but so I can log what I did and see how many calories I burned and I can start tracking my progress. And there isn’t much more that I love at this point than progress.
According to my weight loss goal, right now I can only eat a little over 1,000 calories a day since I haven’t actually logged any fitness activities. There is no way I anyone can eat that little. I would pass out before I got to work.
Also, I realized that I consume many calories in the form of Olive Oil. Maybe I should start thinking about that.
On a positive note, I’m wearing my wedding rings and engagement ring for the first time in awhile. Today was the first day that they didn’t feel abnormally tight and my finger didn’t look like a sausage about to burst out of it’s casing. So, that’s a plus. Also, I’m wearing a pair of stretch pants that I haven’t worn in probably over a year. Awesome.
