Now that I have figured out how to enter what I eat into the food diary it is clear why my weight stays pretty stagnant. I eat too many calories for my activity level. Way too many calories, and beer isn’t helping either. LOL. Who could have guessed? But the new information is how far over the line I am, which isn’t all that much, so it should be fixable. I can also become more active and being able to eat brownies is a pretty good motivation for me.
So, here, now, today, I weigh 165 lbs. That’s about 30-35 more than I probably should be. So, little calorie and step counting app. let’s see what you can do for me.
why is everything that’s supposed to be easy so fricken difficult? I downloaded some stupid calorie counting app to my phone, you log what you eat and it also counts your steps, you tell it if you are trying to lose weight or maintain weight etc. first freaking day… I try to log two tortillas with cheese, didn’t even get to the tea w/milk because I can’t even get it to accept the stupid tortillas. The search function is SLOOOOOOOW and then when I find the damn food there is no obvious way to “enter” it. I’m hormonal over here people! When I try to log something 3 times and it still doesn’t work I tend to shed a few tears and delete your crappy app. I really felt like destroying my iphone with a hammer so, managing my moods.
I tried googling how to do it but that was useless. Now I feel frustrated, stupid, and still weepy. Menopause sucks, weight gain sucks, technology sucks and drives me up a wall. I am NOT going to text my techie husband at work and ask him to fix this for me. It’s my first impulse but I know how overworked he is and how idiotic I seem when I can’t figure this shit out like a grownup. I hate how I always run into roadblocks every time I try to do something positive for myself. I just want things to go smooth. How come nothing ever goes smooth?
i think i finally figured it out. Hormone levels still dangerously unstable. *sniffles*
