I just got home from the walking track, where I walked 2.75 MILES.  I feel so awesome right now - WAY better than I felt back in January and February.  For some reason - and maybe it’s the fact that I TALKED to some of my closest friends about my “weight issues” - but I get the feeling that I may have turned a corner.  All I know is, instead of thinking about food, I’m thinking about other things.

I had to go to the grocery store this morning - we were running out of fresh fruit and chicken breast - and I found that I started to feel “ravenous”.  I was starving.  Or, so I thought.  But, the truth is, I was simply thirsty.  I bought a bottle of water, drank about half of it, and, like magic, my hunger was gone.  Wow.

I have a digital food scale (purchased from Amazon - Digital Multifunctional Scale, Black) that I use to weigh the food that I eat.  It can report in ounces or grams.

But, from time to time, I need to convert from ounces to grams or viceversa, so I use the free online conversion tool, located at Online Conversion.

Here’s my caloric intake as of 11:15 AM

I have been under 1000 calories per day since Sunday - and I plan to stay under 1000 calories per day, no matter what, between now and Christmas.  I realize that I will eventually need to increase my intake - in a month or so - but for now, I need to drop some pounds - pronto!  I have sleep apnea - a condition which makes it difficult to sleep - and the heavier I am, the worse my symptoms get.
