How This Will Work...

So, I've figured out how I'm going to run this blog. I've linked up with this wonderfull little app called My Fitness Pal and it has been my lifesaver. It helps me track my caloric intake each day and even has a barcode scanner that I can use with my iPhone so I don't have to manually enter each food item. It even has a database for exercise and will track the calories I burn. It does not count the calories I burn through everyday activity, only through exercise, but it has the largest database for food and is very user friendly so I'm all over it. So, for purposes related to this blog, I will enter the information from the app each day so everyone can see it. I will also post some recipes, what type of exercise I have completed and the like. Basically, anything food and weightloss related will be touched upon. Failures, successes, everything. I need to get it all out in order to succeed.

Yesterday's Menu (Sunday, May 27th, 2012):
B: 1 Pillbury Grands Biscuit with 1/3 cup of sausage gravy
L: Turkey, provolone, hummus, and mustard on two slices of whole wheat potato bread
D: Homemade Crock Pot Tikka Masala, basmati rice, naan, hummus
Ds: Rice Pudding with Almonds
Bev: 3 beers, water

We had friends over from out of town and I decided to make Tikka Masala. Not exactly the most healthful, but good God, I love me some Indian food. The naan is actually what adds the calories here, and I guess the rice, too. There are probably a ton of subs that can be made, and I will definitely be posting this recipe soon.

I didn't track this on my app because I couldn't be sure of the calories, and didn't feel like calculating it all out, but I guess it definitely over my goal of 1500. ha.

But, I did exercise today! I did a 30 minute circuit run at the local track. It was harder than I thought it was going to be and I had to stop a few times. But I made it, and I'm feeling pretty good today.
