Happy Father's Day among other things….

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s who take care of their kids all year long, to all the dads that are doing it alone, and to all the dads that show up every day. Thank You.

Happy Summer to everyone! If you live in the Arctic North like I do, summer is the best! Granted we haven’t seen the sun since mid week but at least we are not freezing our asses off. That is always a good thing. I hate being cold so for the 90 days we actually have warmth I celebrate it! LOL.

Yay to me for staying on track to loose weight. I have lost 3 lbs this week tracking calories. I only used the elliptical once but I did use the stairs rather than the elevator, parked farther away, and took a walk. Those things are all improvements to my previously lazy self. It is paying off. I know it’s water weight but that is fine with me.

The most difficult thing for me is finding a balance. I didn’t realize how much I dislike meat until I started to track my nutritional input. Apparently, I only eat meat once a day. That means I am severely lacking in protein. The tracker thing said to add peanut butter to apples and stuff like that. I don’t like peanut butter so I am going to have to find another way to add protein. You can’t build muscle without it. Maybe I can get those Special K protein things. Or eat nuts. Either way I need more protein. My fat intake is normal. I actually had a few days where I could have added some fat. I need to eat more carbs. Doesn’t every one want to hear that! Ha ha. I was thinking of buying some veggies and eating those for my carbs. This way I don’t add a butt load of calories with it. My goal is to eat healthy and lose weight. When you starve yourself you end up quitting in a week and binging on a tray of brownies. I don’t want that.

Now I have to go study about aphasia, strokes, and dimentia. Oh my! ; )
