LMAO I had a patient say to me -- I used to be chubby like you! OMFG!!!
Now I am big yes but I have a flat tummy. Honestly I do thanks to tons of scar tissue. But good grief I would have never called myself chubby! I have never been called that....sigh So I went and told a good friend at work this and she turned to me and said that I am actually noticeably smaller than when I moved to the Arctic. I know eh? I am down 8lbs which is good but I am wearing a smaller size thanks to more exercise and toning up. Just when I start to feel good I get the chubby comment.
Anyway I did not exercise this morning. I broke a cardinal rule that I had set for myself which is to be in bed early. Well I was in bed but watching a movie. So before I knew it- it was 11pm and I blew my need for 8 hours of sleep and getting up at 6am goal. So I will exercise tonight. I am trying to exercise twice a day. So tonight I am hoping me and the roomie play on the nintendo wii as I would rather not use the treadmill since that is for my C25K training and that is a morning thing. Variety is the spice of life right?
I am starting to think about the whole food journalling / counting calories thing. I think it would help but I am not sure I can do it. Did anyone ever use any apps for their iphone that they would recommend? I just don't think I want to write them down...in a book I am not so inclined to do that.
Today I ate 1 egg, 1 thin hot dog pita wrap with some jalapeno harvati cheese, three huge slices of zucchini bread, shepherds pie 2cups, a dozen baby carrots with sweet onion vinagrette dip, 100grams of mango slices dried....and yet to have dinner.....
Okay now I am bumming myself out. Cmon Sarah you can do this!!!
I don't have an i phone so I have no recommendations on an app. I relied on a journal I bought from amazon -- I tried an online free program once and while it worked when I was in front of a computer, I found I never used it in the evenings or weekends which seemed to be the worst times for me.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to try journaling your food -- if not calories or points, at least what you are eating.
Chubby is only second to husky as one of the most annoying terms ever used.
ReplyDeleteI carry my iphone everywhere so I am using Lose it! an app which seems to be good. I started yesterday---wow lots of calories in cottage cheese a huge disappointment but I just have to work it in since i like it for breakfast.
