2 slices toast w/ jelly (200)
3 apples (150)
2 yogurt (70)
1/2 c salsa (60)
=approx 480
30mins walk (100)
=approx 380
and I have a feeling it's going to take a while to get used to 500...maybe I'll up it to 750...or at least 600...

note - youtube, food diaries?, internet
Xmas Challenge starts today. I didn't get down to where I wanted this week but that's fine, I may be to my first goal weight (135) by xmas (If not, Jan 8 at the latest).
To anyone coming to this from youtube, sorry I haven't posted there yet... Every time I've tried going there the last couple days I keep getting:
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
Needless to say, that's really starting to bug me. But at least without youtube videos distracting me I've been reading and going to bed at a half decent time most nights (given I haven't been going to sleep at the same...but still...)
I haven't posted a food diary the last couple of days because I haven't been watching cals, just watching what I eat but I'll be posting each days for the next 4 weeks (there may be 2 or 3 together depending on if I'm busy).
I may also be changing companies when it comes to internet because Bell is being a pain. May switch to Rogers?
Anyway, later people.
**edit** finally managed to get youtube working...but if anyone has a blogger account, do you have issues with logging in? I have to do a password change every time I try

note...xmas challenge (challenge #1)? other challenges?
(skip ahead to the xmas challenge)
I thought I'd start this note off with my reasoning behind spending 52 week on trying to lose 30 lbs when I should be able to lose it a lot faster. Thing is, I don't really care about losing a lot of the weight. I'll probably be happy at around 130-135. But I want to see if I like being smaller and pretty much just to say I've been down there in my adult life. If I don't like how I look I'll probably gain a little back until I do like it. Although some people may not believe it, I'm happy being bigger. The only problem is that once I reach about 145 I start to have health problems such as high blood pressure (which since I'm already prone to headaches just makes things worse) and I start having asthma attacks after only one flight of stairs (which is worse than when I was smoking, albeit I wasn't smoking a pack a day like some people, but still). I also calculated fuck ups into it. I've planned ahead for binges and cheat days. I also know what my body is like and as I have a hard time getting below 135 (which I was stuck at for 4 years without gaining or losing anything no matter what I ate or how much or how little I ate) I know I will most likely have a hard time getting passed then again (although when I do hit that spot if I can't get passed it I may try the ABC Diet along with the wii, walking, hiking if I go up north around that time and perhaps I'll try a cleanse or 2). But all in all, I don't NEED to be 120 lbs. If I don't get that low, fine, if I do, good for me. I don't need to lose that much to feel good about myself and I don't need to lose that much to get healthy so it really doesn't matter so it's not going to take up a huge part of my life.
Now onto the xmas challenge.
This weigh in (11/27/10) is the last weigh in of the month. That gives 4 weeks before xmas (12/25/10). During those 4 weeks I am going to try to lose 10 lbs. I am going to do this by cutting my calorie intake to about 500 calories a day, go for a 30 minute (minimum) walk a day, burn a minimum of 200 calories on the wii (5 days a week) (300 if I don't go for a walk), and have at least 2 fasting days (which means water, plain tea, black coffee). By the end of the 4 weeks I should lose at least 10 lbs.
Calculations (estimates):
My BMR at 145 lbs is 1487.85 (BMR Calculator) so I will be rounding this down to 1400 calories burned a day.
1 lb=3500
subtract 500 a day for food intake (not counting 2 fasting days)
add 200 5/7 days
add 100 7/7
4weeksx7days=28 days
28daysx1400bmr=39200bmr
39200bmr+(200x5x4)=43200
43200+(100x28)=46000
46000-(500x26)=33000
33000/3500=9.4 lbs
add in a few extra calories from not eating allotted calories and burning extra calories it should equal out to around 10 lbs.
I'm considering doing a challenge for each holiday (even a holiday as pointless as April fools day). I haven't decided yet... I guess it depends on if I feel I need a challenge around that time.
