Post 15. sorry I've been away.

I haven't blogged since Thursday when I got home from Joplin.  I feel like I have so much to say!

So, on Saturday I changed my calorie tracking tool from everydayhealth.com to loseit.com.  EDH was just very cumbersome and hard to use.  LoseIt! is really easy.  Plus my wife uses it so we're on the same page (get it?  WEBpage?  No one is laughing... ).  I like it because you can "friend" people on there and send messages, much like FaceBook.  I had to change my calorie goal though, from 2500 to 2508.  No biggie...

Friday 6-10-11 I consumed 2275 calories, under goal by 225.
Saturday 6-11-11 I consumed 2520 calories, over goal by 20.
Sunday 6-12-11 I consumed *ahem* 4146 calories, over goal by 1638.
Monday 6-13-11 I consumed 2519 calories, over goal 11.
Tuesday 6-14-11 I consumed 2531 calories, over goal 23.

So other than Sunday (when I ate CiCi's Pizza Buffet, aka "The Devil"), I didn't do too awful.  Back on track tomorrow.

I'm finding that on the days I don't eat a snack between meals, I consume way more during the meals.  I'm also finding that exercise isn't making me more tired; it's giving me more energy overall.  Don't get me wrong.  When I'm done at Bootcamp, I'm beat.  Last Friday I felt like I had been run over by a tractor.  But the next day I felt great.

It's funny to  think that all those pieces of advice that I got that I thought were nonsense are proving to be true already in this journey.  Oh that reminds me.  The one thing I don't like about LoseIt.com is that it predicts when I'll reach my target weight.  It said October 2012.  However, that's if I lose 2 pounds a week.  Last week I lost 6.  I want to reach goal before the date they gave me.

Now, today all day I felt terrible.  I think it's because I have poison ivy and have been poppin' Benadryl every 4 hours.  It clears my poison ivy up quick, but it makes me sleepy and feel generally crappy.

Anyway, that's all for now.  Bedtime for Bonzo.  Wait, no bedtime for me.
