362.2! I still think something is wrong. Since I went to the Doctor for a check up I know the scale is right. They even did blood work and I was good on that too. My blood pressure is back to normal. All of that and I still have doubts. Maybe it’s seeing my Nephew go through this cancer shit. So I’m 2 pounds away from my first goal of hitting 360. I try to stay positive. It’s just hard sometimes when I see the shit happening to my two year old nephew.

So let me talk about the good before I do the bad. The good thing is this last week I started to count the calories I eat. Which has made me more aware of the things I eat. I’ve been trying to hit 1500 calories each day. Or no more than 2000 a day. So that is the good. The bad is that I gained .8 of a pound since last time. So my bad new isn’t all that bad. I’m at an even 363 now according to my Dads scale. I did eat about 4 pieces of pizza at my Nieces birthday party. It could have been much worse I suppose. Next week I expect to be back on track thanks to the calorie counting.

358.0! The first goal I set for myself was hitting 360. It feels pretty good I must say. So I guess counting calories has been helping. So now my next goal is hitting 350. Not to far away I know. I want to try to set reasonable goals for myself. Looking at my little notebook I do know I got to cut down on potato chips. That will be my side objective or side quest if your a geek. I feel pretty good right now.

The scale read 353.2 today so I think it is safe to say the calorie counting is working. I am far more aware now of what I eat. Last week I talked about how eating potato chips was a problem I had to work on. I really think that thanks to the calorie counting I’ve got my potato chip usage down to the recommended one serving. I’m well on my way to 350.
