HELLLOOO Tuppaware!

My tuppaware is sitting on my desk. THANK YOU THANK YOU! YAYEE. Where is my head these days? Sign of old age I guess.

Yesterday I consumed 1464 calories. Oi! and I even skipped dinner!!! How will I get down to 1200 calories? Eating healthy food has NOTHING to do with eating lower calories!

From logging my food I have learned that my kellogs special k almond cereal with soy milk is 375 calories! 375 calories just for cereal! I considered cereal a snack! It can no longer be a snack! It is now considered a meal. If cereal is consumed in the morning WITH fruit or toast, that's like 500 calories! OI!

I also learned that my "healthy" stir fry with veggies, tofu, and ground lean turkey meat is 369 calories for about 1.5 cups! Well I kind of guestimated the calories. I looked up the nutrition info for each of my ingredients. And then added it all together. So I have no idea if that is correct.

Also Edamame is high in calories.

I will have to rethink the foods I eat. I need lower calorie foods so I can eat MORE!

Today is MY friday! Off to see SORA tonight!

Where's my tuppaware?

I didn't get to upload my other lunch pictures from this week.  
This is my turkey burger lunch with namul that I put into the sandwich. The eggs are for my breakfast. For snacks throughout the day I have frog melon again, edamame, and a doritos 100 calorie snack pack.
Eggs with saracha for breakfast again. edamame, white nectarine, and 100 calorie cheetos snack pack for my snacks throughout the day.  My lunch is this is a stir fry I made last night.  I used HY's recipe...which is....throw everything into the pan and add fish sauce!  Awesome! mine includes broccoli, shitake mushrooms, zucchini, tofu, chunks of a turkey burger patty.  This will also be my lunch tomorrow.  

I left my tuppaware at work today. =(  I know I packed it all up to bring home.  And then I get out of the car at home and NO TUPPAWARE BAG! =( I am SO SAD!  I don't know if I left it on my desk or in the BATHROOM!  OH NO! I HOPE I left it on my desk.  =(  I am SO SAD! I love that three divider tuppaware!  It is PERFECT and was a little pricey.  PLEASE be on my desk oh you tuppaware.

So I guess I blogged to the limit today. But it will make up for my weekend silence.  I will be hanging out with the love of my life!  SORA!  my dog.  woof woof. haha.  

CHEERS!

BodyBugg

I think I will invest in the Bodybugg. It's sort of like a pedometer- but BETTER. It tracks how many calories you burn instead of how many steps you take. Cool. You wear it all day and then plug it into your computer. You have to also log what you eat. Then the program tells you how many calories you ate and how many you burned. I believe this was developed by 24 Fitness. It is also cool because you see how many calories you burned each minute. So you can see what kind of workouts make you burn the most calories. So...what workout works best for you! I don't want to torture myself doing some workout that I THINK is good, but is not as good as say walking down the street! Matt suggested that I research it more to see if it's accurate and if it works. Good idea! So I found some reviews and also many bloggers on blogspot that are tracking their bodybugg every day! COOL! I added them to my blog list. I think the biggest pain will be logging my food. I tried to do that before on a different site, but it's so hard trying to figure out the calories for korean food (like I said before). But I will have to sit down and research the nutrition information for all the different kinds of korean food I eat. What a pain.

I started using the website because I get a free 90 day trial with my gym membership. So this is how it works! Except that since I am not using the cool bodybugg gadget, it is only giving me calories burned a day by the normal rate of 2 calories burned a minute for being sedentary. But I did log my food. If I plugged in the body bug then on the bottom blue graph it will show the calories burned each minute from the cool gadget.




ok this is my third blog for the day...yeah slow day.

24 Fitness Sales Guy Rich

I love my sales guy from 24 Hour fitness. He is so awesome. When I was signing up, he was so excited for me. I told him i had to lose 40 pounds by Hawaii and he got so excited. And he told me his life story too. I almost cried. Very cool guy. He calls me his 'project.' Um, I don't know if that is offending or not. But I won't take it as offensive, because he is excited for me. So he calls me every other day because he wants to take a 'before' picture. And he called me on Monday that he brought his camera! HAHAHA. but it was already after I left. He called me again today to say he is going to bring his camera! But I am not going to be there.

He asked if I liked my trainer and i said NO! And he said OH WE MUST SWITCH YOU! So he is going to take care of it! But I feel bad too - I don't think I can face that trainer guy again now if I switch. Oh well. My current trainer is a very nice guy. and has a very nice smile. But he is not motivating at all! He is very laid back And he walks really fast. way ahead of me. He just seems very disinterested. Basically like how I am at work. DISINTERESTED! Just do my job and go home. That's how he is. but his job involves motivating me and getting me in shape! So i am not happy about it. He also doesn't seem very knowledgable about all things Health. I COULD be a trainer if I had to only do what he does. I basically wanted to quit having a trainer! And I was about to actually call a different 24 gym today to see if I can switch to that location so I wouldn't have to see the current trainer!

But since today's phone call with my sales guy Rich, I feel better! Thanks Rich! What a cool guy - to keep in contact.

Now that I think of it, John Lee was a very good trainer. Except I only worked out with him ONCE. PUHAHAHA. Outside on his deck with his punching bags. But that was fun. AND a good workout. I was sweating like crazy in 20 degree weather. And he kept yelling at me to kick faster. Good motivator. But the whole time I was giggling inside because it was John. And John=good laugh. =O Puhahahaha.

Snacking

So Michi has gotten me into the 100 calorie snack packs. The problem is...you can't forget to only eat ONE! hahaha.

After trying so many different meal plans over the years including eating 'clean' (too much throught and work for this) and nutrisystem (NASTY!) and diet to go (pretty good but pricey), I decided that it doesn't matter WHAT I eat, but HOW MUCH I eat. So forget eating Clean and healthy. Just eat LESS calories!

Basically to lose 1 pound a week you have to have a 500 calorie deficit each day. Meaning burn 500 more calories more than you eat. This can be done by working out more, or eating less. My goal is to have a 1000 calorie deficit everyday to lose 2 pounds a week. This will be done by working out more AND eating less. I'm still shaky getting started, but i JUST started! So i am giving myself some cushion these 1st 2 weeks. I'm trying to get into the grove of working out everyday and packing my food everyday and starting to count my calories. It's VERY aggrevating counting calories. Especially because it is so hard to measure calories of korean food!

These are some great articles on snacking by women's health

Check out this quiz. You can see what snacks are 100 calories. It's awesome because it shows you real food! including lots of junk food! and how much of it you can eat for a small 100 calorie snack.
