Savings!

What I wanted for lunch today:

McDonald's Filet-o-(fake)Fish - 380 calories
Fries (mickey d's has the best fries) - 380 Calories
Coca-Cola (my true weakness) 210 calories

Total Calories in desired lunch: 970

What I actually ate for lunch:

Progresso Light Soup - 120 Calories
6 Saltine Crackers - 77 calories
1 cup of 1% Milk - 102 calories

Total calories for actual lunch: 299

The feeling of NOT eating the extra 671 calories: Priceless!!

Biggest Loser

The new season started tonight. I love watching the transformations on this show. If I ever did a reality show, it would be this one. Maybe I could make millions from it like the Situation. The again, I'm not a complete retard so probably not. I am a member of the biggestloserclub.com and I joined a "boot camp" group. I'm working on figuring it all out but it is supposed to be a great motivator. I'm pretty competitive so I think it'll help.

Survivor

I managed to make it through my first kickboxing class. I certainly hope they have an AED machine for tomorrow. Should I be in pain already??

Simple math..

Recommended:                         Actual:
Calories: 1968                          2092
Carbs 274g                              300g
Fat  75g                                   52g
Protein 79g                              56g
Fiber  49g                                13g
Sodium  1496 mg                     4246mg

Well I obviously need to improve on some things. I must have eaten a salt lick by the amount of sodium I took in today.

Wax on, Wax off

Kickboxing anyone? I going to sign up for a free 1 week trial of kickboxing classes. I think it'll be great not only to lose weight but for stress relief. Maybe now I can just beat up a bag instead of wanting to kick people in the head. I wonder if Mr. Meowgi will be teaching the class.

Into the wild

A friend of mine has invited me camping. Now I have to say that I am not exactly what one would consider an "outdoors" kinda girl. In fact, I haven't ever been camping. I don't really count the trip I took with my Aunt when I was a child because we slept in a pop-up trailer. This camping involves sleeping bags, tents and using the bathroom in the woods. Now I have a time senstive challenge because if I try to camp in my current physical condition, I'll be bear food. I have approximately 2 months to try to not embarass myself hiking through the woods.

so.....

how many calories are in TWO bottles of wine?lol

TGIF

Boss man told me to leave early so I came home, cleaned the house, opened a bottle of wine. Not a bad Friday! Getting dinner ready which is a chicken salad with strawberries, feta cheese and light rasberry vinagarette. Only 350 calories. I know what you're thinking... wine is calorie free right?? 

Introduction

I should probably explain a little bit about myself and why I wanted to do this blog. I'm 39, terminally single and mother to a wonderful son. I can't explain how I let myself get to the point I am at with my weight or why I have such a hard time with doing anything about it. I just know that I have to do something so I can be around to play with my future grandchildren. I started this blog to try to help motivate myself. While I won't be disclosing my current weight, I'm going to attempt to be open and honest about my ups and downs.  I'll probably try some lame attempts at humor as well so hopefully that won't chase anyone  (the whole 2 people) reading this away.  Time to see what tomorrow brings.
