Dietary nonsense

According to info gleaned online and my own imperfect memory, I consumed 1254 calories yesterday.

This was in an apple, a pack of snack crackers, a sonic-kid's meal with coke, and three pieces of Halloween candy.

Today, if I plan things right, will consist of two packets of instant oatmeal, a pack of snack crackers, an apple and another packet of crackers, for a total of 800 calories, although I suspect I will add Halloween candy to that.

This isn't unusual for me and I know it isn't varied or even all that healthy.

But if this is how I eat, how come I weight 195 pounds?

About the rest of the day? Epic fail. But it was worth it. I'm gonno go walk before bed.

I'm no nutritionist...but you need some veggies! You're consuming a lot of starch and sugar (which I personally enjoy--no judgment here). Also some protein! It's probably screwing with your metabolism. And to lose weight you've got to cut back on calories for a period of time. I lost 20 pounds over this past year and it took me about four months total doing WW.

What's WW?

The thing about variety is that I have what you might call a sensitive digestive system. Some things sit just fine, others result in painful cramps and me running to bathrooms all day.

Its safer, especially when I am working, to stick with things that I know won't upset the works.
