Sorry I've been lazy about posting since I started back. I missed this weekend because... well, I just didn't feel like blogging.
Anyway, I didn't track my calories this weekend, because I'm considering changing the diet up a little bit. I read lots of material that said if calories in is less than calories needed, I would lose weight. But now, I'm reading that it depends on the type of calorie. Is there an easy answer? No, of course not. If there was, everyone would be fit and healthy.
So, I'm checking out some options, based on my body type, blood type and family history. What I came up with is lots of protein, veggies, fruit and very little bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. Which is great, because my favorite types of food is Italian (bread and pasta), Mexican (rice and tortillas, which is like bread only flat), and diner food (you know, sandwiches on bread, fries which are a delicious variety of potato, fried chicken that is breaded...). So obviously, I'm in trouble.
This is also the type of diet that my trainer, JR recommends. What to do?
Today I wanted to track calories, but we went to the Cardinal ball game. Seriously, once you eat a burrito at Busch Stadium, counting calories is like using a ping-pong paddle to face Roger Clements post-HGH injections.
Well, it's late and I'm tired. I'll leave you with this:
"The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night."
— John Piper (A Hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer)
