My Fit.... Pal

Well...I kinda like this for tracking...esp since i could figure out my salad once and then just check it for the rest of the days...and since I tend to eat a lot of the same things,  once found and checked its easy to re add.  But i don't like that it decides how many cal I should eat and it keeps telling me that I'm not eating enough...when I know I am.  Followed my plan and as of now I have 999 cal entered.  I feel full and am blogging rather than late night snacking.....I saved my snack for after Hawaii 5-0 and that worked fine...so far.  The other problem is that there is no way to put the number of steps in the exercise log...I have to put the steps as min.....lots of min.  I just got off the phone ...paced as I talked and am at 5190 for the day.....86 hours in a 24 hour day spent walking.   Oh well will cont with it for a while and see how it goes.  The only other problem is that sometimes people put funny cal amts in for things and they are wrong.  I know what a lot of my cal cts should be so find a different one if its not right, and check with calking if it's something i don't know.  I like how cal king gives you options on sizes and uses oz as i do like to weigh most things......my small apple may not be yours.  Two days down and hope it will become a habit to eat at 1200 like it was last spring.

comments

I am blown away. 16 comments....it makes me want to do the right thing just so I don't disappoint  you all.  I was real good on cal today...trying to get ready for the shift to 1200 max that starts tomorrow.  Read lots of blogs today, but not my challenge reading.  Tried on some clothes that i will blog about another day, as I still have some more to try on .  Found my pedometer and wore it shopping this evening....walked around walmart for 30 min and did 2800 steps.....a step in the right direction.  First time i have used since June.  Will try to remember to start wearing it daily again.  I probably need one to leave at work and one for home...like my reading glasses.  Time for bed. No midnight snacks tonight.

It was actually a pretty good week.  I was under most days over one and I tossed the rest of the food that was giving me a problem.  Even a basically healthy low cal food is no good if one portion triggers 3 more and that is what happened....at midnight no less.  So sf jello and rediwhip is again going to be the late night food of choice.  Exercise is still my week point,   but I did walk some at lunchtime this week....just not enough and not as often as I should....so that needs to be improved.  Now the weight today is not as good as i would like.....however it was better yesterday and I was really good on my liquids....but kinda of late as I was up and I also used herring for my dinner.....so I suspect it is some water and will be gone by next week.

apples

Up mentioned honeycrisp apples.....they are what I actually bought. I had one last night and it was good.  The other apples I bought were Sansa....I don't know anything about these but these were the 2 types of new crop apples that they had.  We used to go to Kansas City every fall and pick apples.....then would can them and eat them.  After we stopped doing that,  I ate fewer apples due to disliking the mushy texture of most apples....its from storage....they are fine for pies and baked apples and hiding under peanut butter but not just for eating.  Now I buy fresh apples at central market in the fall to winter usually and then quit eating them when i think they are too old.

central groc

central groc is my favorite store to shop in.  Got lots of nice vegies....for some reason i haven't been able to find fresh radishes where i usually shop....got some cute Easter egg ones and 2 bunches of good looking reg, brocolini,  broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.  Got some new crop apples but they didn't have any jazz in yet.  Also got a nice selection of dark choc.....I got a mix of %....so while some are not quite as good i will be able to choose based on craving.  I picked up rubbed and marinated chicken breasts and pork lion and some fish and shrimp.  Found a few new low cal dressing to try and bought a bag of the beanitos to try.  Also had some grilled salmon before we drove home and finished it for lunch today.

I've been good on my fluids, over 100oz daily incl today.  I have a doctors appt on Fri the 30th and will have my lab done before going.....more lab than usual as she want to check some inflammatory markers and my thyroid also.  I'm trying to walk a little more and will see what she says on exercise.  This past weekend was the most active i have been since June and it did wear me out.  I've taken it easy today to try and not feel so draggy.  Deconditioning is the pits....i had gotten more active and was able to do more until getting sick...but can hopefully start again.

Hope everyone else is having a good week......lets get into our clothes!
