I have been really good using my phone app to enter all of my
calories I consume each day. I log my exercises in it also. I found the cord to
my Bodybugg so I can charge it and upload calories
it indicates I have burned.
I really like instant gratification. The Bodybugg does that for me. I can look immediately and
see what I burnt or come home plug it in and see. It will tell me down to
exactly how many calories a minute I have burned.
I have allowed myself 1600 calories a day. With many of those days being under. That doesn't
count exercise that would allow me to eat more. But I need a deficit in order to lose weight
so that wouldn't make much sense working out, busting my ass to then go and eat
that many more calories.
At first I let the app (I mainly use my phone but it is online also) choose for me
the ratio of carbs, fat ect. But i decided to change it. I'm doing great.
Right now I have it set at
140 carbs a day (the majority of the days I am at about 100 carbs)
44 grams of Fat (strive for under 50)
and
160 grams of protein. (You should set the amount of protein to be how much you would like to weigh)
Hopefully this change will allow me to lose more weight.
I have been going to class. Taking Audrie to Dr appointments and the lawyer since her
car accident. Boy that has been a nightmare. No one will admit fault and take responsibility. Got tired of the run around. Audrie was the only victim there out of the 3 vehicles involved. She didn't ask to be tailgated or rearended. So we have a lawyer. They can decide who was at fault and go after them.
In the meantime she missed so much work that she was fired from her job.
Pretty chickenshit of you ask me. She didn't qualify for the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)
because she had not been there a full year yet. She lacked 3 weeks. Kinda convenient if you ask me that
she is released from her job just before she would have been eligible.
Oh well. She found another job.
Since she lost her job she also lost her medical insurance. She was set to have a skin
graft on her leg that doesn't want to heal the first week of March. Due to her
diabetes it keeps breaking open and has been open for over a year. I'm so afraid she is going
to end up with infection and it settling into the bone. It is so scary looking. Now we are
back to square one again.
She has panic attacks daily now since the accident. It messes with her blood sugars due to the stress.
She just got out of the hospital after being there 2 1/2 days due to high blood sugars.
The Dr's feel she is suffering from PTSD from the accident. It will
take time but I'm sure we can get thru this also.
It would just be nice to out that accident behind us so we can all move forward.
Last week I had to have a steroid epidural in my back. My hip hurts like there is
no tomorrow and I have a pinched nerve somewhere
between my lower back and my hip.
I have pretty constant pain from my hip to my knee. Its about 4-5 inches
long and feels at times like I am being electrocuted. The rest of the time
it feels as though someone is holding an iron set on high to my leg.
FUN TIMES.
Then Wednesday I started physical therapy. It is pointless if you ask me. but the Dr
didn't ask my opinion. She does shock therapy with this
little ultra sound machine. Feels like she is pushing from my back thru my
kidneys and out my belly. Then she gives me
exercises I am already doing in my classes at NampaFitStudio. So I fail to see
the point. I am supposed to go 3x a week for 6 weeks.
BUT she said since I already am quite active that I only have to come
2x a week for 5 weeks.
OH JOY!!
