Anyway, new goals are:
Food = 1,600 calories
Exercise = 30 minutes walking daily (I really need a dog!) and 30 minutes resistance training on the gym machines 4x week.
I want to start doing sit-ups/crunches too. However, each time I try, I end up throwing out my back within a few days. Must start slow... 5 of them, then increase by 5 every three days or something like that. I just get bored and forget to follow up by a week into a new routine!
I chose 1,600 calories a day because that's about the bottom level of the food I've consumed in the past week.
11-9............... 1,640 calories, 2 hours of walking (yay for Disneyland!!!)
11-10............. 2,311 calories
11-12............. 1,441 calories
11-14............. 1,622 calories
Of the most highly caloric food I've eaten, the homemade macadamia nut white chocolate chip cookies I *had* to buy from my kids' preschool (which thankfully are gone as of tonight) and tortilla chips and salsa are my evil evil evil snacks. They represent 400-600 calories I don't need. How rad would it be if I could keep my intake at 1,000 calories and actually exrcise every now and then!
So while I may have failed all over the place and back this week, at least I have idenitied the culprits that I didn't think mattered much in the grand scheme of things. But, yeah, they do.
Gym tomorrow AM for SURE! Then Disneyland for my 2 hours of walking.
Is there any way to hide this post?? Really, I sound pathetic.

And I am happy to report that within 48 hours of this post, I lost 1.2 pounds. Whew! Keeping the calories below 1400 and actually putting out some effort to sweat = good sense and dropped lbs.
