10.03.10 - My first day
Well, that's the first day over. I read over a few other diaries and noticed a lot of people have posted up their daily calorie count, but I haven't really kept track of that, and I'm not sure if I plan to. It seems kind of pointless. To me, it's either I scoffed my face with ice cream and chocolate today or I didn't. I know when I've done wrong and I don't need numbers to prove it. I didn't gain weight by my lack of awareness, I gained it by my lack of discipline and/or lack of viable alternatives to unhealthy food available in the house, besides starvation.
My height's stuck at 171cm. I weighed myself yesterday and I'm apparently 73kg, which means my BMI is 25. I didn't weigh myself today, but I don't suppose there's been much of a difference.
I went shopping for food today. I think partly the reason I gained weight is because my dad doesn't buy me stuff that I can eat at breakfast or lunch, so I fill up on junk like chocolate and crisps instead. I get hungry enough that I can consume an entire tub of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting without feeling sick. I bought enough food to last me a while, and nearly all of it was healthy. I bought a few things containing chocolate, but they're the kind of things that are useless alone (Nutella, chocolate chips, drinking chocolate) and I plan to consume them only occasionally.
I plan to use a treadmill and Wii Fit for exercise, but I didn't think it was really necessary today. I had to go out to town, and I ultimately did enough walking to exhaust me and weaken my legs.
Today, I didn't eat amazingly well. I had no real breakfast or lunch, but over the day, I consumed two scones (one of which had margerine and strawberry jam), two large plain blueberry muffins, some strawberry yogurt and a bite of carrot cake. Fortunately I had some fruit and vegetables before dinner, and then a reasonable portion of spaghetti with peas, sweetcorn, tomato sauce and cheese sauce. I have my meals planned out tomorrow, whereas I basically winged it today, so hopefully I'll have a healthier day tomorrow.
