I was so p*ssed off yesterday i worked out for 2hrs. I gained a half pound according to the scale yesterday morning after eating healthy and working out the day before and it just p*ssed me right off. Besides that i drank so much frickin coffee, cream and 6 tons of sugar yesterday it was workout or no supper...lol.

I know it could be any number of things that prevent a little weight loss but i know from experience that more cals out than cals in = less poundage and for some reason it just didn't work yesterday and i set myself up to expect it. Course i didn't lose any today either cause that tends to happen if you workout too much... well no such thing as too much but you know what i mean.

Anyway, i've worked out everyday for over a month now so i think i can safely say that's a habit i won't be breaking for awhile. Now i just have to sort out the eating deal so i can lose some more weight. I put the whole fitness thing on hold for the last year since i had my surgery. Not intentionally... i just didn't have it in me to be consistent enough to accomplish anything. That's a whole other story to do with the cancer and misinformation etc. that i can't be bothered to talk about right now.

So i guess i'm at that point where i'm coming to grips with the fact if i want to lose weight i just can't eat as much as i want to dammit... lol. This is exactly the same point i was at a couple years ago when i lost the last 30lbs... only i could smoke instead of eat back then... *grin*. I've been eating real healthy but unfortunately healthy doesn't necessarily mean less cals... one step at a time though.

I use this great program called Diet Power... i'm not crazy about the name... it's a fitness and nutrition program... and i love it. I found it about two years ago i guess. You plug in what you eat and what exercise you do and it figures out the calories in and the calories burned. In addition it is constantly calculating your metabolic rate based on the information you are giving it everyday. Then it gives you the amt of calories you can eat that day based on your current metabolic rate so that you will reach your goal weight by the date you set.

The other thing i really like about it is the fact it calculates how much of each vitamin you've consumed as well as minerals, water, fiber, carbs, protein, etc etc. It is just so kewl if you really want to make sure you are getting everything you should be from your diet even if you don't want to lose weight. The food logs are huge so they have just about anything you could imagine eating so you don't have to guess or go to great lengths to find the food info and enter it. Well enough about that... as you can tell i think it's the best fitness program out there and well worth the money to buy it.



Well here's the starting screen of DP... this is another part i think is so kewl... with this you can see exactly what you're doing and where you're going. Some info has been obliterated to protect the innocent and the fat... which in this case is me... lol.
