Quick Check in.... 277

Not a whole lot going on... haven't really been exercising, taking care of some other medical needs... so I'm just holding steady, counting calories and trying to make healthy choices.

Still using the BodyBugg every day and My Fitness Pal.   With the exception of Sundays, I ALWAYS have a calorie deficit, so that is good.  The one thing that would be easy to do and I haven't been doing it would be drinking more water.  Going to make an effort to step up that game tonight.

Also have my sleep test tonight.  fun fun!

Back to progress.... 277

Well things are progressing a little bit...   I purchased a really good book from the Mayo Clinic that reminded me of a class that I took with Dr. Vasquez about 14 years ago.


It's not a "diet" in the terms of "fad" or eating the bare minimum, it's a lifestyle change.... and it has a lot of good tips, teaches about carbs, fat, protein, what to eat/not eat, and better choices for weight loss.  After all, this isn't just going to be a diet for me, it has to be a lifestyle. 

Another tool that I dug out is my Body Bugg.  It tells me how many calories I burned through the day, how much exercise (moderate and vigorous), steps taken, calories burnt, heart rate, etc. etc. etc.   It works directly with  My Fitness Pal which is where I log my meals.   Sounds like a lot of work, but really isn't when you get a flow going.
