Sick as a dog all week!

So I was intending on starting my diet last Monday, however I have been so sick for over a week now. I am finally starting to feel back to myself but much of last week I either didn't feel like eating or ate like a cow because i didn't eat much for a few days.

So today was the day. I feel so ashamed to even have to post this but if I am not honest with myself about my weight there is no point in trying! I weighed in at 227.1 lbs this morning! I took my measurements (Chest, waist, hips... don't have the info in front of me will post at another time)

I am counting calories, as I stated earlier in the blog... I am going by the biggest loser diet guidelines of taking your weight and multiplying it by 6. So my daily calorie intake is in and around 1360! My Bugg is STILL not here, I am so sad over that but it will for sure be here this week! Once it is here I will feel more in control because I will be able to see my calorie deficit!

I stuck to my diet all day! My menu looked like this:

Breakfast:
Astro Biobest yogurt drink (70 cals)
Lunch:
6 oz ham (boiled then baked)(458 cals)
1/2 cup potatoes au gratin (161 cals)
1/2 cup peas (20 cals)
Supper:
1.5 cups chili (316 cals)
2 tbsp sour cream (60 cals)
14 multigrain nacho chips (260 cals)
Snack:
1/2 banana (36 cals)

Total: 1381 Cals
So I am a little bit over my target but do not plan on eating anything else tonight. I have had 1.5 L's of water so far today... I do plan on having a large glass of green tea shortly.

If I didn't have a package to go by for calorie info I used Calorie King

Exercise:
Today I did one of my P90X workouts. It was 57 minutes long, I got to about the 45 minute mark before I was too tired, I did cardio for an additional 15 minutes. Lets just say I have been tired ALL day as a result! But I choose not to nap!

Lastly, I will end with another reason why I want to lose the weight and get healthy... Energy! I am sick of feeling like I always need to sleep in or have a nap! I want to have energy and to be able to accomplish things in my life! I wont have that if I stay overweight!

Back again tomorrow!
