Next Moth Ima Try Harder With Weight Loss (I Hope)

Tomorrow is weigh in day. After eating this for a week. That would be spiced up butter fried chicken and beans with veggies.

I been literally sucking at it this year. I have only lost about 25 lbs so far. Should be up around 70 or so. But I been bad more than good. It's been an enjoyable ride though.

The worst thing is, I know I can get it done because last year I lost a lot more weight. In fact last year I dropped 73.4 lbs. I stupidly quoted 90 on YouTube in a comment today though and though "that ain't right" and looked it up - not was not right.

I got 25 weeks left in the time frame and if I don't mess it up yet again (over and over) I should be able to hit 50. Life is going to suck if I do, but it's possible.

First week was Mar. 31st 2017 last week will me Mar 23rd. 2018. See I started in the middle of a year. I got to stay the hell away from processed food and stop doing things like eating a big ass poutine. Not to mention a double bacon cheese burger from hell. Just got to be in control.

But sadly I am having a lot of impulse issues this last while and they are NOT going away until I have them chips, or that poutine or whatever.

Might skip the chicken next month and go all bean and veggies. See how I do with that and with luck no pizza or burgers... If I get 2 cans of lentils and a can of tomatoes and some frozen veggies I can eat all day on that. That would because of a good sale next week when I get paid would come out to only about $160 or $170 depending on how much coffee is at the time. Also toss in some spice mix to go with that.

So I should be good since I budget $250 for food. Chicken is normally $35 a box and most of the time I just need 1. BUT won't be getting any next month. Still got lots and it will be a treat now and then for a change of pace once a week.

    Are you tracking calories as you eat? I'm a HUGE impluse eater. If I want something, I want it now and I don't have a lot of will power to stop myself. One thing that has helped me A LOT is calorie counting. Physically seeing the calories I'm consuming has helped my impulse. I still have bad days. I went over board with mashed potatoes the other night because it's been so long since I've had them, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I only gained that two weeks when I was away and I stopped tracking my meals.

      No I don't track them. Most of the time it's the same 3 meals every day. I figured it out w years ago and if I stick to it I lose weight. But I had extra money and I went nuts. So... next month is try hard month. Also saving money for a tv so the snack fund is now gone. That should help.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
