I'm making the switch

Today I used Morning Star Crumbles for my taco salad. I am making the switch from ground beef to vegetarian meat. When I saw the 200 calorie difference in 1 pound of meat it literally floored me. Another simple change to my new health. I actually like the taste and it was very good.

Rinsing the fat away

Here is one technique that I use alot, it is where I rinse my hamburger meat when I am done frying. You will be amazed how much fat is still left on the meat after it has browned. See for yourself.

My new weigh in

Okay I was so not ready for the weigh in today. My mother-in-law Palmer and my sister-in-law Debra, (I Love Ya'll) have called me to inform me that I didn't do my weigh in on the 21st. So here it is, 294. That is the numbers. I am proud to say that I didn't feel anything come off, but I cleaned out my closet and can wear some of the clothes I forgot all about. Go me! I have to see Dr. Abaqueta on January 14th about my weight issues. From our last visit in December, we calculated that I was consuming about 3000 calories a day. I told him that I don't have energy to eat 3000 calories a day, I probably eat once or twice a day. So I am really trying to eat more meals with less calories. I think that I am going to have to buy everything in portion control. I will be doing more research on calorie portions and how to measure them.

As far as excercising, it is hard. Those jumping jacks hurt my back and my knees. I feel like a butterfly effect waving my arms and jumping. With all of the strength it take me to move one arm, the other one acts as if it doesn't want to move. I thought if I dreamed about excercising my mind would communicate with my body and send a signal to the fat that I was running or something. I wake up tired and huffing and puffing..hey can I patent that? lol...... Dream Weight Loss System.....hmmmm.

Oh by the way, Happy New Year. Yes, it is a new year, and I read what I wrote a year ago. A whole year has passed and I figured out that being seditary has slowed my progress. So I have to start doing more besides sitting in the house all day. I have no excuses, and I need to move around more. North Carolina do not enforce side walks and curbs, if they did, more people could walk places. My neighborhood have a sidewalk on one side of the street, and everybody on my street have a dog. I have a fear of dogs, it's what they do when their owners are not around. I also have a fear of UFO's, I might be walking one day, and end up in one, I do live in the suburbs/country....lol. My new word is ACTION. I can focus on it.
