Fat kitty is fat. Fat kitty exercises. Fat kitty is still fat.

I'm having one of those frustrating kind of days. First, because now it seems like apparently all the medical experts have decided that the 30 minutes a days for 4-5 days a week isn't enough. Now you need an hour of exercise per day to lose weight.

The idea of having to exercise for an hour kind of scares me. It's enough that my back and thighs are still functioning after the 40 minutes I'm already doing!



Ugh.

Not to mention that the Wii said I gained two pounds. The same two pounds I apparently lost yesterday. Where the fuck could I have picked it up from in 24 hours? I deliberately didn't eat all of my dinner, just to make sure it wouldn't happen (because we had pasta, btw, and pasta is pretty evil). Also, probably could have not had rolls with dinner. Because as we all know, yummy white bread rolls = fluffy, warm evil of evilness

Plus, I had a couple of graham crackers after dinner. By my estimate, I had 1.5 servings (which is 2 and a half complete cracker sheets), which comes to 195 calories total (eep! that's, like, 200 calories basically! I should've watched what I was shoving in my piehole!).

*shakes head*

I'm failing kind of hardcore at this weight loss thing. Methinks I need to step up the exercise and cut some more calories out of my diet. Maybe add fifteen more minutes onto my routine, or do another fifteen to twenty minute workout later in the day? Or earlier? Hmm.



I gotta go do dishes before the Boy gets home. And I should actually post some of my gleeposts instead of just writing them down.

Well, I didn't just pick that number because it was what was recommended for all women. That number is what I've found the most consensus on for women who are of my weight and BMI and have as many pounds to lose as I have.

I suspect that I might actually be getting too many calories even now, because it seems to me that I have a wickedly slow metabolism and perhaps I'm one of those people who only needs to eat 1000 or less calories a day to keep up what I'm doing.

I also suspect that I might be doing the wrong types of exercise or doing them in the wrong way, so that they're less effective and I think I'm burning more calories than I actually am.

Though I will take it under advisement to seek out a nutritionist and see what they say about it. I'm sure there's someone on [livejournal.com profile] ask_a_nurse or some other medical comms that can help. Because that is very solid advice to give, and it would be nice to get an expert opinion.
