Well, first off this is a new blog that is about my weight loss so my profile that talks about my brothers journey with Alzheimers really doesn't apply to this. I am just starting a journal about my weight loss and keeping track of my calorie intake etc.... Yesterdays easter dinner I made was fattening. I don't think I did too bad; I did not have any of the cake I made, didn't finish everything on my plate and I didn't have any seconds. However, the food was ham, baked beans, sweet potatoes, hashbrown casserole, deviled eggs, homemade bread and cake. Today, I had about 6 mini chocolate donuts, a pimento cheese sandwich (twice), some hersheys kisses (about 10) and 3 deviled egg halves. So, I would say all of that is about 1335 calories. Oh yeah, and a glass of cranberry juice 140 calories so I have had 1475 calories today and I haven't even had supper yet. That is really shameful. I need to have some self control, some willpower. Plus, I'm not even suppose to have chocolate anymore because I am having kidney and bladder problems due to my lupus and the doctor said NO CHOCOLATE, NO DIET DR PEPPER OR ANY CARBONATED BEVERAGES, NO CITRUS, NO TOMATO PRODUCTS, LIMIT ALCOHOL. I did good for about 3 weeks and then I couldn't resist all the easter candy around the house anymore. Starting tomorrow, back on the diet and eating right and exercising. Gotta get the treadmill set back up and start on it again. I can't get out and hike and walk around on our property because I can't leave Chris by himself. Thank God for the treadmill. I don't have to leave Chris unattended, and I can watch my shows in the cool house while I'm on it. I just hope that I can have the willpower and self control to remain on the diet when I get stressed out. Wednesday is the worst day because I have to deal with my Mom all day. Got to remain strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
