Day 1 of my weightloss

Today is my first day to a slimmer, healthier me. Here are my stats:

Weight: 188.6 (I don't know how true that is, since yesterday the scale said I weighed 191)

chest: 39 1/2 inches

waist: 33 inches

midriff: 38 inches

hips: 44 inches

right upper arm: 13 inches

left upper arm: 13 1/2 inches

right thigh: 27 1/2 inches

left thigh: 27 inches

right calf: 14 3/4 inches

left calf: 14 3/4 inches


I'm a little lopsided!





breakfast: 3/4 cup Product 19- 80 calories

1/8 cup raisins- 65 calories

1/16 cup sliced almonds- 43 calories

1/2 cup whole milk- 75 calories

Total- 273 calories



lunch: 1 cup homemade vegetable soup-100 calories

1/2 cup pineapples- 80 calories

Total-180 calories



I will not be eating a snack today because we have dinner plans at CiCi's pizza with some friends. I know that alone will total around 1200 calories.



OK, it is 4:29PM and I am starving. I just realized that I have not even consumed 500 calories so far today. I am going to eat a chicken sandwich, which will be approximately 300 calories. I have been unpacking and moving some furniture around, so I know I have gotten in my recommended 60 minutes of exercise today. Man, I am really going to have to practice restraint tonight with the pizza. The good thing is that I don't eat pork, so I will only be eating veggie pizza. Maybe I will throw in a salad, too.

We ended up going to Golden Corral (buffet). I actually did pretty good. I had a large salad (approximately 200 calories) with grilled chicken strips and a sweet potato (137 calories). I did give in to my biggest weakness, besides chocolate, and had a slice of pecan pie (240 calories). Oh, and I did have two spoonfuls of banana pudding (1/2 cup is 466 calories, so I am going to guesstimate 100 calories)while feeding it to Darion. My total dinner calories was 677.

Total calories for 11/10/2008: 1430 calories

Overall, not a bad day. I only drank 48oz of water, so I have to make sure that I at least double that today. One day at a time....
