Day 31

1595 cal, 30.8 g of fat

No exercise today, unless you count work. I do work on my feet, move around a lot and I don't get to sit down. So 8 hours of work probably burned a few calories.

I am trying to plan what I am going to do tomorrow. If I go on another long walk like last weekend, I will probably have to deal with a sore right heel again for days. It just started to feel better. Also I am going to be doing several hours of weeding for my grandmother, I remember how sore I was the last time I did that. I guess I am going to have to see how I feel in the morning.

Day 30

1624 Cal, 36.4 g of fat

Happy 30 days to me! Seemed like longer! I sort of feel like I have been at this forever ( well overall I have been doing this off and on since I was five) and not just 30 days. I am still keeping positive, still going in the right direction and I have made it a full 30 days. If I was an alcoholic I would at least get a sobriety chip.

What I have accomplished in my first 30 days

1. changed despair into hope
2. wrote a blog entry every day, no matter how short. Some days I wrote 2 to make up for the short ones.
3. Logged everything I ate each day, and monitored calorie intake
4. started swimming again after a lengthy absence
   
5. I haven't disappeared yet from this blog
6. I lost 13 lbs

Here's to the next 30 days...


Side note of the day: There was doughnuts at work today, and I didn't eat one!


P.S. There will be a lot more patting myself on the back

Day 29

1646 cal 31.1 g of fat

Okay this is weird. I totally decided that I was going to try to eat more, and get my calorie count up around 2000 cal. But I can't! I just can't eat enough! I am full, so I don't want to push it. I mean how weird is that. I the never ending stomach is full. I mean I am eating full meals, having snacks, eating dessert, and it isn't adding up to what I thought it should.

Seriously weird.

Swam for 40 mins.

Day 28

1812 cal, 38.3 g of fat

I really have to work on not being tired. I think I know what the problem is, I just have to work on the solution. It was my day off today and I did really boring things like groceries and laundry. I guess you could say that I do not lead a very exciting life.

Weigh in #4

I gained 2 lbs.

And I am totally okay with it. I know I did everything I could to lose, I didn't cheat, was within calorie range everyday, I exercised. And It is coming up to that wonderful time of the month I become a fire breathing monster. So I figure my hormones are screwing with me. I will do better next week.

New weight 360

Day 27

1670.8 cal, 33.9 g of fat

Still so tired, can barely keep my eyes open, good think I can type with my eyes closed. I just check for typos later. I have tomorrow off so I can sleep in, and hopefully that will help a bit with the tiredness.

Day 26

1817.5 cal 39.5 g of fat

Very tired today, I almost didn't want to log my food, I just want to head to bed. My right heel is really sore after my 6 km walk yesterday and being on my feet all day today. So I have done my duty today, remained dedicated and honest, whew.... enough of that. Good night!
