Keep Trying

-
Juicing to lose weight. Juicing to detox. I gave it try for the first time, but apparently I did not do it accurately. I thought the main focus was eating vegetables. Apparently not. I did drink my vegetables, but often times I ate carrots sticks, celery sticks, slices of cucumbers, etc. Now that I think I know better I will try again.

Tomorrow is Sunday, the first day of the week. I will get up and go for a 5 mile walk. I will drink my vegetables all day long and drink eight 8oz of water too. One day at a time. One pound at a time.

I've also joined to challenges posted on Lose It! (loseit.com)
  • Burn baby, burn! : A challenge to see who can burn the most calories. I do not expect to be among the top 10%, but I still plan on burning as many as possible.
  • End Of October Weight Loss Challenge: A challenge to see who can lose the most challenge. Again, I do not expect to be in the top 10% but i will be working my butt off.
Lose It! has started a premium membership section. I have been pleased with their free features very much. After scanning the features provided with the premium membership, it is very likely I will be joining. This week is going to be very hectic for me. School meetings, field trips, volunteer work, and freelance work, ... I will not have much time to fully explore the premium features, therefore I will wait until next week to sign up.

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne

Healthier Choice, Still Over Budget

Today I did a better job than yesterday, but not by much. Overall it is a step in the right direction.  Here is the break down: + Logged all my calories using LoseIt + Consumed less calories. - Was over my daily caloric budget. + Consumed healthier food. - Had too much food. + Drank more fluids. - Had 2 glasses of diet soda. + Did some physical labor - Should have walked more, tracked by FitBit Here are some snapshots from my lunch today. The food at the Soupplantation was yummy. I would h ave had a third plate, but did not want to go further over budget than yesterday. Here is a glimpse at my physical labor. I swept a drive way and collected a can full of leaves and twigs. Getting into the gym to workout is not really an option for me, so I find ways like this to workout.

2011_0117 Counting Calories at Disneyland

-
Over the weekend we went to Disneyland. I did not take the tram ride from the parking lot to the main entrance. Instead I decided to walk. The distance from the elevator at the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot to the Check-Point where the trams drop you off is 0.60miles. I brought with me some fresh fruit and some bottles of water, in effort to curve temptation to eat too much junk food. When it was finally time for dinner, I decided I would eat at the Red Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrow Land. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but not go crazy with the calorie count. The menu board did not have calorie counts, no where obvious where nutritional values posted either. I asked the door greeter where I could find the information. He said to ask anyone behind the counter. Including him, I asked 4 employees in there. Each would point me to the next person until the kitchen was gave me a response. "We are still collection information, so we don't have the information." That left me pu
