I'm finally feeling a bit better! I mentioned in my last blog that I was being tested for sleep apnea... well, I went for the test, but my doctor went out of town, so I won't get the results until April 1st. I'm quite nervous! But I have managed to find something that has been helping me feel a bit more energetic; multi vitamins! Because I'm on a 1250 calorie per day diet (only recommended for short women who are obese - not recommended for everyone!), it can be hard to get the right amount of vitamins that I need. I read that a lot of people (on similar low calorie diets) take vitamins for just that reason. I probably should have done it from the start! I added the multi vitamins to my day on MyFitnessPal (great app for losing weight!), and now all my vitamins are over 100% everyday!
Anyways, I won't discuss everything that is new with me, just the most interesting things... for starters, last weekend was really exciting! I stayed at my dad's new apartment. Its sooo much better than the last apartment! Much bigger and cleaner! It was also his birthday, so I brought him a birthday card with a Subway gift card inside, and a chocolate cheesecake. He was quite thrilled! Anyways, we did a lot of walking on Saturday, and I burned a ton of calories, so I had an extra good treat day! I had a KFC chicken bowl, a McDonald's apple pie, a chocolate granola bar, and a couple handfuls of movie theatre popcorn! Speaking of the movie theatre, we went to see 10 Cloverfield Lane, and I really enjoyed it! Also, I lost my little Led Zeppelin button that I had on my bag, so I bought a new one. Its a different design, but I love it!
I finally watched The Hateful Eight a couple days ago. I had been looking forward to it since it was announced that Quentin Tarantino was making a new film. And I really enjoyed it! Also, school and Brownies started back up this week (last week was March break). Yesterday was the most exhausting day I've had in a long time. I went to school, then went to Brownies, then I went grocery shopping... I didn't get home until 10pm. I slept pretty well though! Today I'm just gonna relax. I may clean my bedroom... not sure. I'm feeling pretty lazy right now. I may just watch 3rd Rock from the Sun, and play City Girl Life all day.
This weekend is Easter, as everyone knows. I'm planning on having two treat days instead of one (since its a holiday). It will Saturday and Sunday. I got my Easter treats all ready; marshmallow bunnies, two fibre 1 brownies, and a little plastic egg filled with chocolates. It may not seem like a lot, but candy is really high in calories, so I can't eat too much. Plus I'm spreading it out over two days so that I'm not eating a ton of calories at once. Also, I'm having a traditional ham dinner with potatoes, gravy, veggies, etc, on Sunday. But I have to measure my portions. Just because its a holiday, doesn't mean I can eat a ton of food. However, I am having a very low calorie lunch, so that I can have a big dinner!
I'm thinking about creating a little side blog about my weight loss journey, with tips and tricks, and maybe pictures of what I eat everyday. People think a 1250 calorie diet means you're starving and eating tiny amounts of food, but I'm never hungry and my meals are regular sized! Veggies are super low calorie, so you can eat an abundance of them (example - two cups of baby spinach is only 25 calories)! I think people would be surprised by how much I eat in a day! And besides, its not like I'll be eating 1250 forever. That is just for weight loss. When I maintain my weight, I'll be having 1800 - 2000 calories a day!
Well, that is about it. I hope everyone has a Happy Easter! Or just a great weekend if you don't celebrate Easter!
