Let me catch you up on last nights events. I did attempt to ride my bike but because it is such an old bike, the chain kept slipping off so I just walked/ran instead. I didn't stay out long but what I did do felt nice. I'm still alive!! In the short time I was out there I did manage to burn 140 calories, so that is something. It's more than what I did the last time I tried to diet. Slow and steady, slow and steady. Kesh said something today that made me think. Now I know that she didn't mean it in a bad way but it really did open my eyes a bit. She said, "I think you would rather be fat and be with me, than be skinny and be alone." This was said when she threatened to comment on my blog and tell everyone that I hadn't exercised. It was her little way of making me do it...which worked by the way. I called the pool today to see how much it costs to go to it. Found out while I was on the phone with them that they have water aerobics and water zumba. I really need to look into that zumba thing...it's everywhere! Kesh really wants me to go to the water aerobics so I think next Monday I will.
Tonight Kesh and I walked for about 15 minutes. Nothing over the top...just getting out there and getting used to it. While we were walking though a thought accured to me...this is gonna take forever to accomplish! I knew that going into it but tonight while I was doing it I was just like, "holy hell I've got a long ass road ahead." Staying positive though, that's the key to any major success in life...right?
Alright here's how today breaks down food wise.
Breakfast
Bowl of Total with 2% milk-210 cal
Piece of toast-90 cal
1 alli and 1 multivitamin
.5 l of water
Dinner
Pasta with Prego-400 cal
4 oz. of chicken without skin-180 cal
1 alli and 1 multivitamin
.5 l of water
Snack
1/2 ham sandwich-110 cal
1 alli
.5 l of water
.5 l of water
Total-990 cal
Didn't hit my calorie mark for the day. Needed to be at around 1200 but I'm not complaining. I'm actually not too hungry. Calorie burn for what I walked tonight was 90 calories. I also walked wal-mart and cleaned house. Maybe I did more than what I know how to calculate but until Monday we won't know lol.
Also wanted to add that I talked to my aunt today and she is sticking by her word in working down to not smoking. I am very proud of her and I love her very much!!

Way to go girl! You're right about the positive thinking, it can make all the difference in the world. Keep up the great work!
ONE DAY AT A TIME! That is exactly what gets me through. I think it is great that you are just "getting out" and feeling it out. You can not expect to just jump right into it and be great. I soo wish that was the way it worked, but it takes time to get where we are and its going to take time to get where we want to be.
And how in the world are you figuring out your calories (how much your eating and burning)?
lots of measuring. the labels on the sides of boxes or on the packages will tell you a little on how much is in a serving. sometimes youll have to go online to find out. google calorie counter for your food...and for exercise google calorie counter exercise.
