Day 4 of the Food Diary…

Wow, well if I need to eat 2200 or less a day in order to lose weight it is easy to see why I am not losing any based on the first three days of this week.

Monday – 3,060 calories

Tuesday – 2,748 calories

Wednesday – 2,940 calories

Not surprising then that after the Sunday to Monday drop I have only lost one pound.

The Healthy Trim pill regimen isn't tough. I was doing the GNC heart healthy at one time and I am somewhat over the idea of taking daily vitamin supplements under the heading of "Don't know if they really help."

Yesterday's food included two servings of free office pizza that also had a ton of cheese which keeps my dairy number up higher than I want. I am also thinking of ways to eat Italian without the pasta and am wondering how gross it might be to try shredded zucchini or squash instead of pasta noodles with the sauce. That might be a Sunday experiment.

My main problem is still the exercise, always the exercise. I am too exhausted at night and I hate the idea of waking up in general so waking up earlier to exercise feels terrible. In a mind over matter battle I cannot get my mind to matter. This is definitely where having an exercise buddy would help. I wonder if there is a place to find that on the internet?

I am still eating what I want or at least not forcing myself to eat foods I don't want. Looks like breads and pastas are still not good and clearly pizza isn't an ideal food. If I don't start exercising soon, I will have to dramatically alter what I eat in order to lose any significant weight. Maybe that will be a good motivator.

Today should be fun, trying soy chocolate milk. Not as low on calories as you might want but has added vitamins. Also, going back to Subway to try a low-fat menu option hopefully with flavor. Dinner will probably be day three of the pasta.

Have a good one.
