We’ve extended our stay at this RV park for another month. The rent is $50 higher ($400) for this month than last month ($350). After we paid, Jim read in the resorts newsletter a $350 special for October so they refunded $50. Each month, the rent increases with it’s highest being $1200 in January and February! Sheesh! We won’t have to worry about that price for a couple of reasons. One is we can’t afford that. Second we have to be out by October 30th because they are completely booked for November and later. We’ll try a different park or possibly head North a little. We’ll see.
I’ve mentioned my homemade sausage McGarret’s in previous posts. Today I finally figured out the calorie counts.
37.5 = Egg beaters
41.6 = 2% Pepperjack cheese
80.0 = Veggie Sausage (Morning Star Farms)
100.0 = English Muffin
7.5 = Fat free milk

266.6 Calories Vs McDonalds version at 450 calories = 184 calories less.
Speaking of calories, Jim steps on the scale just about everyday. I don’t bother. I think once a week is enough. We’re both not happy with our slow results. I should say lack of results. Maybe because we’re not on a real strict diet? What’s changed since the last time we lost weight? We work out more than ever. Most of the time, 7 days a week, an hour of cardio. Add to that weight lifting. What’s wrong? Maybe too many cheat days. We go out to dinner with friends and have no self control.
Ya know, I don’t even care about the pounds. I care about the inches. I say that but it’s what I use to measure my success… or lack thereof. If my body was shaped like Michael Phelps but I was 200 pounds, would that be bad? Well, I guess none of that matters since I don’t have Michael’s build. I can dream, can’t I?
Consistency is the key. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will see results. If you start a program to actively cut calories, it will happen faster. You're doing fine. don't sweat it. Or do. Sweat is good!
ReplyDeleteGiven the amount of cardio you are doing, I'd venture a guess that you are burning fat and replacing it with muscle. Which is why inches is a better measurement than pounds a lot of times.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! It's not about the size. It's about being healthier. Right? Riiiiight.
What Liz said. Are you smaller (no, not in *that* way)? Your photos seem to suggest that. If so, it's working. The body's just reshifting. You're a lot healthier than you were, regardless of what the scale shows. Congrats on making this happen. Now if I can only motivate myself . . .
ReplyDeleteYeah but, I always thought size mattered. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteNot only is sausage McGarret less calories, it's probably cheaper too!
