So Far the Plan

Well, yesterday I ended up doing quite well after all, much to my surprise! I am going by MyFitnessPal's calories now, which it has set for me at 1660 per day. But then I can earn more by exercising, which is how I ended up having 97 calories left for the day yesterday. Pretty good, no? I thought so, especially since I snacked too much around lunchtime. But then I earned 120 for a walk around my block, and 343 on the Wii, just playing tennis and Frisbee golf. Yay!

So far, so good for today, too, although I'm feeling a bit snacky at the moment. I've already gone for my walk and burned 122 calories (I went up the front sidewalk to get the mail, which burned an extra 2 calories, lol). I didn't go at all last week, so I thought I'd do 4 walks this week. Two down; two to go. I'm going swimming tomorrow, too.

I had to go visit my psychiatrist today. I get another dosage increase, which is good. I've been feeling a lot better than I was, for sure, but I think there's still room for improvement. I think I'm going to finish the dose I already had before I switch, though. I have a few days' worth left. It's nice to actually want to leave the house/get off the couch sometimes. I go see her again in 3 weeks, and then I get a different one because she's going on maternity leave. Too bad--I like her. Oh well. Maybe I'll like the next one, too.

Oh, I think I'm starting to get the hang of MyFitnessPal to make it say what I want it to say for calories. I just do the math. For example, if I eat a pork chop that is 495 calories (Costco has really big pork chops) I'd figure out the calories I actually ate on my spreadsheet (we cut them into twos or threes), and then, say it came out to 200 calories. I'd say I ate 0.4040404040 etc. of a pork chop. It still would be nice to be able to add the amounts myself, but this works, too.

I think I'm going to go play Wii tennis now. :D
