Day 4: Front-Butt Dimples
Yesterday was pretty successful. I'm fairly sure I kept my calorie intake down to under 1000. Which is pretty good for me. My lunch consisted only of a cup of Tofu Miso soup (with seaweed). Mostly because I knew that rehearsal nights are bad eating nights. I had some left over salmon and I did have a hot dog (here comes the rationalization) which, in total was about 250 calories between it and the bun. Still, a slip in the agenda for the sake of convenience - but still a minor accomplishment because I can normally gobble down 3 or 4 of those yummy little fuckers.
So here's the thing I am struggling with, what do I cut out or limit? I'm not doing Atkins, so it's not all Carbs. I am actually trying to limit everything right now so, of course, I feel I am on some aimless diet with no theme. Do diets need themes? I'm trying to avoid the high end of the carb market, but I'm also cutting WAAAAAAAAY back on red meat. I wish I had the tenacity to go vegan. I just know I can't do it. I just don't believe I have that kind of will. I know it could turn me into an energetic, thermogenic, hydromatic dynamo with a gatlin gun for a colon... but in all practicality, I don't believe I could do it.
Firstly, I have no bio-ethical base. If I was against eating animals, I'm sure that would tip me over the line. But I'm not so it all comes down to health. The real issue is that I simply cannot afford to be an earthloving, organic eating person. I can't. I have a family to feed and I'm not about to force them to eat what I eat. If they want to, great, but I'm not one of these people who converts and then tries to recruit. I hate that shit and I won't do it.
So what it boils down to is this...I have to change what I do and who I am. I have to change portion size and the number of times I eat. Those are the biggest. Second biggest is WHAT I eat. So far I have not had fast food in nearly a week. The last one was Saturday when my son and I went to Jimmy John's and I got a veggie sub. I wonder what the busty girl at the Taco Bell drive through is thinking happened to me. Bottom line is that I need to do a fair amount of label reading, but right now it's about altering my habits. Forcibly changing the way I have done things for... frankly, decades.
Banana for breakfast. 2 hard boiled eggs and a banana for lunch. Dinner uncertain. Maybe a plain potato. We'll see. I'm starting to see a little dimpling in the "front-butt" which is usally the first sign that I look for. I know that I will notice little pockets of me shrinking over the next few weeks. The initial changes are usually fairly obvious.

As far as dieting goes, it's not like I've ever done it (though I could stand to drop some poundage, too). But here's what I've heard, and it makes sense:
If you keep eating what you've always eaten, but eat LESS of it and EXERCISE, you will lose weight.
So it stands to reason that if you eat eat HEALTHIER stuff and less of it (in combination with increased exercise) you will lose more weight and be healthier.
It's pretty simple as far as diet plans go, but it is a real change that requires real willpower.
Oh, also … if you bought a Mac Mini and lost that huge freakin' PC box, you'd probably drop about 8 lbs. right there. :-)
But see I like the BIG Macs.
And those big PC boxes are great for storage... winter clothes, Christmas Trees, dead college girls... my underwear...
Here's what's working for me.
Go to www.fitday.com
It's a site devoted to tracking what you eat how much and whether you're in balance. It works really well because you can add the link to your other webpages and your accountable to other people. It also helps you to see what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong.
I don't know that less than 1,000 calories is practical for you. Not in the long term anyway. on Fitday, you can also figure out what the minimum caloric intake for someone your size and build needs to have to survive.
Oh, and it also figures your basal metabolic rate which is the numbers of calories you burn sitting still. Very handy to know if you can't get to the gym and have to adjust what you're eating. You are working our, right? Right????
Always supportive, I know.
The one right across from the office. She didn't know my name, but she knew my face. She seemed to like the way I ordered the big burritos.
