Ok, so for breakfast I had a banana, about a cup of grapes, and 1/2 of an orange. For lunch I had 1/2 of a medium cucumber and about 1/4 of a pepper, a mixture of orange, red, and yellow peppers...and they were awesome. For dinner I had 2 fried chicken drumsticks, a medium potatoe with chicken gravy (I use the kind in the pouch because there is no fat and almost no calories..and I just like it), raw carrot sticks and raw peppers, this time with a ranch vege dip. And for a snack earlier I had a banana. I added up the calories for the day, and rounded UP just in case..sometimes I just add a few extra calories to every meal just to be on the safe side...and it came to a total of 925 calories. Again, it was probably up a bit from that, maybe up to 1000 since I did not actually measure each thing out, and medium this and that can differ, at least I think so.
So, I really should have taken in more calories for the day. However, I am stuffed right now so I don't have to worry about feeling hungry later. And if by some chance I DO feel hungry, well, I can grab some fruit.
Ok, so I made it through Day 1 and having the fruit in the house seems to make my fiance happy. He may not do vegetables, but he does love fruit. So far, so good. On to a new day!!
This blog is my journal showing what progress I make during my journey to lose weight. I have come to realize that losing weight after 45 is so much harder than when I was younger. So, I have decided to post my progress as I go along and hope that by doing this I can help others. I also would love to get comments and ideas from those of you who have had success and would like to share. The start of a new year and hopefully the start of a new life!!
