Try, Try, Try Again

I have started logging my food once again. Very confusing. I have some friends that I grew up with that use My Fittness Pal. So I have joined that site to keep in touch with them. But my favorite site is still www.loseit.com . This is the site that is my "true" accountability. My husband and I have been logging our food and exercise since October 2011. A little time consuming but each site has different things that I like about them. I try to get both sites as accurate to each other as possible. Hubby says my OCD kicks in big time. I like to manually add each food, not use the database that comes with each site. And each site links up with my fitbit. It is really hard to get 10,000 steps each day.


Last month I met with a nutritionist. She worked out a meal plan for me that breaks down the calorie count for each meal. Also I am to do at least 30 minutes of exercise daily. I have just now got in the groove of this. One month later. See what I mean about being a procrastinator. My next meeting with her is in August. At that time we will retake my measurements and she will look at my food log. I am trying to find my exercise niche. Something that I like and will stick with. I am using the treadmill and elliptical at the present. I need to sit down with a calendar and get a routine established. I also have the KettleWorx DVDs. Let me tell you this will kick your butt. I did the introduction, 20 minutes and could not sit down without moaning and groaning. So I didn't do that for another 3 weeks. But I started it again this week and it is going much better. Maybe because I have done the elliptical and treadmill. I am building muscle and stamina I guess. Because I have only lost 2 more pounds.


My next project blogwise is to start adding pictures. Also I want to be able to blog from my mobile phone. All in all I am feeling better about this journey.


Until next time
