Day 16

I would like to start tonight by apologizing to my audience for the recent short posts and missing days of posting.  Sometimes I just loose motivation.  Not loosing any weight in two weeks despite all my hard work was a little depressing.  It would be one thing if my measurements were showing improvements but they are not.  So as I mentioned yesterday I am going to start tracking my caloric intake. I am using an app called Lose It! on my droid.  Seems like a good one.

Also, the whole reason for blogging is for support and guidance.  If you read this feel free to comment below.  I would appreciate any tips and encouragement.  Also on the side there is a on going poll to vote for the next 100 days.  I might add another category if this continues in the same direction of flat line....100 more days of weight loss.

On to my day....also since I am using a calorie counting app I can tell you all of the caloric values.  For breakfast 3 egg whites (75) Turkey sausage 3 links (200) One slice of whole wheat bread (110)  and 1/2 of a potato fried and cubed (80).  Total breakfast was (465)  Lunch was Panera.  Greek salad with dressing and chicken breast (522)  I meant to ask for dressing on the side but forgot and they mixed it in and I was too much in a hurry to try to fix it.  I had Rotary tonight and dinner was provided.  Chicken gumbo soup to start, and then a chicken breast baked, vegetable medley, and a cup of mash potatoes for dinner.  Dinner was (569)

Also the app said I should be eating 1,886 calories a day which is a lot if you are eating somewhat healthy.  With that said after my workout I was 700 calories shy of my goal.  My workout was 35 minutes on the elliptical and 2.17 miles.  So with me being so short on my caloric intake and that probably being my problem with not eating enough and my body going into starvation mode, I decided to have second dinner.  White corn  tortilla chips, salsa, broccoli, baked beans, a salad no dressing, and a handful of almonds (406).  Still nearly 300 calories shy of my daily goal but I am done eating for the day.  Hope this post was long enough for you ;) (wink face)...hehe.... as always thanks for reading. Cheers!
