the numbers game
Ok, so I goofed up and I didn't write anything down the other day when I said I'd start my diet. And, if you don't know by now, my memory is SHITE! *giggle* I need to write things down or I forget so easily. So, I bought a shiny little notebook (with a picture of Big Ben on the cover, YAY), and a little food journal. I'm going to keep track of everything I eat, and why, so I'm held accountable.
And, of course, I already screwed up today. I overslept, so I hit McDonald's on my way to class. Now me, thinking "Ok, I'll just get one biscuit and one hash brown, that won't be so bad" right? WRONG. Go look it up. I used this calorie count website. The biscuit has 440 calories and 36g carbs. The hasbrown has 140 calories and 15g carbs. Eesh. After class this afternoon, I'm going to hit the grocery store. I'll buy some bags of salad, but also some things I can use if I over sleep like that again. Maybe slim fast or the Lean Cuisine breakfast things that I could eat and run. Eesh. And I'm so going to the gym today.
Ook, so here are my numbers. Better late than never, right?
Age: 29 next month
Weight: 270 pounds
Chest: 46" at widest point, 42" band size
Waist: 45"
Hips: 53"
Upper Arms: 17"
Thighs: 32"
Trouser size: 22-24 in jeans, XXL in shirts, don't ask the bra size *wink*
Goal weight by April 23rd: At least 265 pounds. Any more than that and I'll the rumfar dance of geeker joy.
Tonight when I go into work, I'll have my coworker do the heart rate and blood pressure, since we do that on the kids, pulse and stuff. I'll have to go get some blood work done if I want the cholesterol. Hmmm, I'll also as at the university med center. Last year, when I spent the year in London, they made me get a full physical and stuff beffore I went, shots and such. Maybe not. Hate doctors.
Aren't you so glad you read these entries? *grin*
