Here’s how this is going to go down: I’m going to list what I ate today day and you can go ahead and tell me how terrible I was. I’m going to preface this by saying that my diet is designed for me by a certain online food tracking program and I sit down at a computer all day long. I’ll include the time I ate it and the (calories).
7:00 - coffee with skim milk (30)
9:20 - Kashi cherry dark chocolate chip granola bar (170)
12:00 - Jocolat bar by Larabar (190)
3:00 - Wheat thins 100 pack (100)
4:00 - single serve pre-bagged light popcorn (60)
6:00 - a lovely pasta / chicken medley that Erin made for me (345)
- 1/3 cup white, macaroni-type pasta (80)
- 1/2 cup homemade tomato sauce (50)
- 2/3 chicken breast - 4. 0z (150)
- green bean, asparagus, shallot, and onion mix (25)
- 1 tsp olive oil for the sauté (40)
9:00 one serving of No Pudge brownies (120)
Grand total = 1015 calories.
Now I know what you may be thinking – that’s not very many. But that’s what the machine has been telling me to do, and so far it’s worked. I must also add that the machine gives me a little bit of flexibility, so I don’t have to eat this way every day of the week, but it’s recommended. Also I do not exercise right now. I pretty much wake up, sit at my computer for a while, then I go to work and sit and the computer, and then I come home, eat dinner, and sit at the computer or in front of the TV. And then I go to sleep.
But – that’s why I’m here. And this morning I did 20 push-ups in two sets of ten. It’s a start.
If you get a chance, check out weighins.com. It’s a supportive close-knit community for people wanting to lose weight. With a free membership you can join a weight loss challenge (like the Biggest Loser tv show). You also get a free calorie counter and a personal diet journal. I like it much better than sparkpeople.
