Good Vibrations

I am feeling really good right now.  I followed Squirt and Dee's advice and wore the BodyBugg to bed last night. I have burned 1900 calories so far.  I was only looking at the "trip" setting yesterday, and had reset it, so I thought I was only burning a few hundred since I started keeping track at 1pm.  When I checked the "calorie" setting, which shows what you've burned from midnight to midnight, I had burned over 3000.  That is over my goal of 2900 a day, so things are coming up Milhouse!

Also, wrapping my punching bag in foam did in fact help with deadening the sound, so I'm looking forward to attacking it tonight.

I can't wait for my resistance bands to get here.  I haven't given my legs a good workout in awhile, other than walking and kicking.

I hope I can keep up this enthusiasm.  I've been excited about stuff before, diet pills, cutting carbs, not eating after 5pm, Farrell's, keeping a binge diary...... yadda yadda yadda.
This feels different.  This is a down and dirty visual of what's going in and out of my body, calorie wise.  How much energy am I expending, how much energy am I taking in?  No more guess work.  It's right in my face.
I always just sort of estimated in my head before, or thought, hey, if I'm hungry, it's okay if I eat a big steak and a plate of fries and a bag of M&M's.  Articles say to only eat when you're hungry, so all this food is fine.
Not anymore.

I thanked everyone in yesterday's post, but I want to thank you all again.  You're all supportive in different ways, and even though my weight isn't anyone's issue but my own, you've all rallied around me and helped me take steps to change my body and change my lifestyle.  Whether you've helped me pay for fitness stuff like the BodyBugg, or you just understand what it's like to fight and struggle with your body and body image, I really appreciate it, and I think you're all just tops!
