Not Good

Well I think I overdid it with the work out yesterday because now my knee is all swollen up and it hurts to walk. Looks like I'll be having to go back to the surgeon sometime soon. Crap, crap, crap.

Breakfast a medium banana. 105 calories and 4 calories from fat.

Dinner revioli and water

Day 3 (it's gonna be the death of me)

So I went and worked out this morning with Andrea. I did 1.1 miles on the elliptical in 15 minutes. Not great but for the first time in 2 years 15 minutes is pretty darn good on the elliptical machine. Then we did arms and I did inner and outer thigh whatever that may be called. I call the machines the yes no machine. I don't know their technical terms but I know that I'm in some pain right about now. haaaaaa. So we worked out for 45 minutes or so total.

Breakfast
carnation instant breakfast 220 calories/10 calories from fat

Water at the gym

Lunch
kiwi 46 calories and 0 calories from fat
Ham sandwich
ham 140 calories/40 calories from fat
bread 200 calories/20 calories from fat
mustard 20 calories/0 calories from fat

snacks at work
raspberry peaches 240 calories/0 calories from fat
2 cups of veggies 50 calories/0 calories from fat

Dinner
New England Crab Soup 80 calories/5 calories from fat

So far my totals for the day are 946 calories and 75 calories from fat.

That leaves me with 809 calories & 276 calories from fat left to go. Looks like I might be able to go to b-dubs and have some naked tenders after all. :)

Well no work out is planned for tomorrow we are going to work out on Thursday and Friday then get ourselves on a M,W,F plan.

For lunch a huge orange

More interesting reading

On trying to find something that I could drink tonight that wouldn't push me over the edge I ran across this information. It seems that alcohol doesn't make you fatter what it does is stop your body from using stored fat as energy and uses the burned alcohol (acetate) as energy instead. So when you drink it stops your body from using the energy supplies you have on hand and instead uses the acetate as energy. This is a problem because I want to burn my fat and not the acetate. So now I need to decide what is more important getting rid of my fat ass or going out for a drink with the girls to b-dubs tonight. Why can't obese be in? I'd be totally cool right now.

Here is one of the websites that you can read that information on.

Ok...glad to be back on the right track! For breakfast I had a banana and some pineapple! Yum yum! Water to drink. Welcome Andrea!!

Here are some cool sites that talk about how to find out how many calories a day you should be eating and what not.

I've posted the fatcalories one before but there is some great info there. I'm posting these as much for me as I am for you this way I can find them easily.

Holy Crap

So I just got the B-Dubs nutritional information. Guess why I'm such a fatass. Yup that's it right there. If anyone wants a copy of this let me know and I'll send it your way. Looks like from now on I'm getting naked tenders with honey bbq for a grand total of 328 calories and 120 calories from fat. Cripes now I have to figure out if it's better to drink vodka and lemonade or beer. Oh all these tough decisions that I have to make to get myself hot again. Sigh.

If anyone wants me to post the choose to lose calories let me know. It's the simplest diet and it actually works and you don't starve. You actually eat a ton.

Oh and everyone welcome Andrea she's starting with us on the website. Hi Andrea hope this works for you too!

Day 2 all over again....

Breakfast
Juice 300c/0fc
Raisin & Spice Oatmeal 300 c/0fc

Lunch Ham Sandwich
3 slices of ham 105c/30fc
honey mustard 10c/0fc
bread 160c/20fc

2 kashi bars 240c/60fc

Dinner
Lean Cuisine 260c/25fc
diet pepsi 0c/0fc

I know I should be drinking water but I finished the one I brought with me into work and my other ones are out in my car and are frozen. So tomorrow I will bring in 2 waters with me. Oh and tomorrow I start working out with Andrea. I'm kinda scared about that. Here's to hoping I don't end up needing knee surgery after working out since I can barely walk up the stairs as it is without going ouch, ouch, ouch. My knees suck, it's genetic. Ok back to the totals for today lets find out how much more I need to eat....1075 calories so far and 135 calories from fat so far. Getting to 1755 is pretty freaking hard I'm stuffed. Maybe tonight I'll have a snack. I didn't last night but I'll try to do that tonight.

********Updated Calories***********
I had a snack of a grapple 80c/0fc and 1 cup of low fat cottage cheese 180/40. This brings my total up to 1335 calories and 175 calories from fat. I didn't reach my calorie goal but I did awesome with my calories from fat. I still had 420 calories to go and I was 175 under my limit for calories from fat.

Day 1 All Over Again

Well no exercise today but I think I'm going to fix that tomorrow. Supposed to start working out. I'm back on Choose to Lose so that means 1750 calories and 351 fat calories a day. So far today I've had:

Breakfast Raisin & Spice Oatmeal 300c/40fc

Lunch Ham Sandwich
3 slices of ham 105c/30fc
honey mustard 10c/0fc
bread 160c/20fc

hot cocoa 150c/25fc

pancakes 150c/15fc
butter 30 c/0 fc
syrup 210 c/0fc

grapple 80c/0fc

That's 1045 calories and 130 calories from fat. I still technically need to eat 705 more calories. I'm sure I can find a snack before bed. :)

Rolling myself to the computer.

Well hi there, it's been a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time and I can sure feel it. I'm at the point now where I don't like any pictures of me I hate the way I feel and I really need to do something about it. So I am. I renewed my gym membership Friday and I'll start working out on Monday. I'm off to the grocery store to buy healthy food. I think before we go grocery shopping though I'm going to go through the pantry and toss all the bad stuff. It may not be popular by any means but it needs to be done. All of us could stand to lose some weight. So once again....Hi I'm Jaime and I'm a fat ass. Everyone has basically gone there own way when it comes to this but this is something I need so I'm going to continue to do this for myself and for my kid. I'll start keeping track of the food calories and calories from fat tomorrow but I just needed to get on here to see that it wasn't that hard to be good. So until tomorrow.

Lunch
Foot long ham on wheat no cheese with honey mustard and a coke zero. 582 calories and 90 calories from fat.

For anyone trying pills to lose weight don't. The FDA just recalled hydroxycut because of serious health issues. We can do this the right way. No drugs no crap just lots of healthy stuff.

Breakfast
1 1/2 cups honey nut cheerios with 1 cup skim milk. 300 calories and 30 fat calories.
Looks like I got Thom to join me on the choose to lose. It will be good to have a partner.
