Sleepy, but blogging.
Wouldnt weight loss just be so much easier if someone could tell you exactly what to do for the exact results you wanted? I mean, obviously, eating proper portions of healthy food at proper times and being physically active is good for you, but I sometimes feel like there are too many variables. The human body is a weird and wonderful thing. What Im getting at is I just wish there was some way to be exact about this whole process. Some days, I eat pretty well and work out and see little to no change. Other days, I dont work out and indulge in a little chocolate before bed and Im down like 2lbs. What the hell? I just need/want/would love to have some psychic fitness mind reader to say eat this specific thing, do this specific work out and you will 150% surely see this specific result you want. Obviously, this lack of knowing is not a big enough deterrent to actually make me say F it and give up; it would just be a lot easier to stick to if I knew it was gonna work. Le sigh.
In other news, my heart rate monitor has been giving me really in accurate readings. I finally hypothesized that maybe its cuz the battery is low, but it has no way of letting me know this. So, I ordered a new set of batteries for it and hopefully theyll get here soon and will fix the problem.
Also, I sorta tried to do a partial low cal day. It turns out that an entire jar of (WalMart brand) unsweetened apple sauce is only 318 cals. Just throw in a bunch of cinnamon and youre good to go. I only ate about half of it, as well as some cucumber slices and an orange at work today for dinner and snack. Heres hoping for results. I had a thought about how to lower the cals on the yogurt I like. A whole 650mL container is like 700+ calories. Now, if I can find a plain yogurt, with very few cals, I can just combine the 2 and then divide the mixture in half and hopefully reduce the portion calories by like maybe 300-ish? I dunno. This is something to be experimented with, but Im hopefully. I just need yogurt to go on sale sometime soon. Cmon summer. lol
5 weeks til Ke$ha, 21lbs to lose.

liquidus:
I truly feel your frustration. I've been going to the gym for 2 months now, 3-4 days a week. Cut back on my calories, increased my cardio from 30 minutes to 120 minutes over that period of time. Increased my resistance twice. I've gained 18 pounds.
