Subtitled - Food Part 3

All about food. Again.

I have been the same weight since Feb 22nd. That was the day I started to eat. I don't feel hungry or full.  I just kept on eating. I did not go over what my NUT told me to eat, but I was enjoying eating again. I am going to rant about my NUT for a moment. It was suggested to me, unless I understood her wrong, that I should be eating 1000-1300 calories a day and up to 130g carbs per day. I started to eat like that and that scale has not moved. Starting today I am cutting back on my food intake. If I find myself in the kitchen I do some dishes.  My back is still bothering me so I never can stand long enough to do them all and my beau will not do dishes.  Anyways, I have been tracking my calories for the past 4 days. I tracked for 3 days to see how much I was eating, what I found myself grazing towards. Well today was the day that I truly learnt how my tool will work for me. I totally cut down my calories today and for some silly reason I thought that I would be hungry but I wasn't. I really wasn't hungry! Although I didn't go overboard, I ate some pepperettes and was worried that there would be too much fat in it. I even had salad, mmm yummy salad. I had no problems with regular salad dressing either.  I did find myself in the kitchen but on the bright side I got dishes done. It wasn't hard at all. I kept telling myself that it didn't matter that I was in a stall, it will pass.  Well, I have to admit that it is starting to drive me crazy. I had been logging what I was eating in a notebook. Now I am using a free program online. It tracks the calories, protein, carbs, etc. I'm sure there are easier ones to use, but it was the first one that I came across. Good enough :).


So the in-laws were in town. They always stay with us. My beau's dad's wife really likes me but sometimes I need patience with her. It was also my birthday while they were here. They came here on Feb 24. They stayed until March 1st. My mil didn't get the whole idea that I don't eat much. I was a little bummed out on my birthday because I had unrealistic expectations about my weight loss and the effects on my body. I thought that my back would hurt less. I wish it would feel better. I wanted to go out dancing for my birthday. Then the in-laws said they were coming. Joy. So I didn't go dancing, but I also thought that the back would be better and I would be able to dance for at least more than a song or two. Oh well, summer will be here soon, it will be warmer and I will be able to wear dresses and dance all night. :D I can't wait.


I went to my very first exercise class last Friday. I am going back this Friday. It is a aquasize class with a bunch of old ladies. I am glad that it is a bunch of seniors. They are the nicest. So non-judgmental. It is a breath of fresh air. I am thinking about going upstairs and trying to tidy up my dressing room. I can't seem to get it in order anymore. Too much of trying something on and not really liking it and having to try on something different. I guess I better get used to it for a while. I just like to shop :) I find it thrilling that I can buy tops from Walmart, don't have to worry about it not fitting when I am at Penningtons. I still might not like it on me but I know it won't be too small. I can't wait until I can buy tops at regular size stores. I have bought some pants at a regular store and I see what people mean about vanity sizing. I like that vanity sizing, lol.

And on that note, I am off to bed. It is 11:55pm local time right now.
