Money again

So, just saying.  I decided to monetize this blog, don't actually intend to make money, but decided to turn on the AdSense and Amazon stuff.  We'll see what happens.  I expect nothing.

Diet Day 21 - Three Weeks Oh My

Well, the only thing I really want to say today is looking back at the nutritional information provided to me by spark people if it wasn't for my One A Day Vitamin I wouldn't really get any of my daily recommended values of any vitamins and minerals.  It really makes me wonder what the hell I am eating.  I mean I suppose the real problem is the good for you food that also provides the vitamins and minerals is too damn expensive.  I mean foods like salmon and asparagus are healthy and delicious, but the grocery store I go to doesn't ever have them on sale so I sure as hell aren't going to buy them.  On the other hand, some of the stuff I eat like lunch meat and american cheese is inexpensive (relatively), but isn't all that great for me at all.  I suppose that a tradeoff needs to occur, but the fact is the good healthy food is too damn high.

Diet Day 19

Now that I finally got yesterday's blog update published I am ready to address another topic, breakfast. I think I have talked about breakfast before, but today I want to talk about taste. Can't someone come up with a low calorie great tasting fast and easy to prepare breakfast that is also inexpensive? Don't get me started on cereal bars, to a fat person the box of cereal bars is considered a meal and most of them aren't cheap. I don't mind eating oatmeal, but it can get old really quick. Well I have to finish getting ready for work so more later.

Diet Day 18

Some days dieting is the last thing I want to think about. This is one of those days. I ate too much for dinner, even though I knew it was too much. I think the problem is that I don't have any good support. Dieting alone is so damn hard. When everyone else you know is enjoying or even flaunting their food choices it makes me feel terrible. I don't know why. I suppose too, it pisses me off when people think they're fat and they aren't. Look people, I am fat. I weigh over 320 lbs and have a 48 in waistline. I wear triple X tshirts and my neck size in a collared shirt is a 19. So the next time you think you're fat, ask yourself "Am I really fat, like Ben, or do I just think I am fat because I believe what TV and Magazines say fat is supposed to be. Seriously, if we could make me (at this stage of my diet) the poster boy for Obesity and being fat so people have an accurate comparison. How the hell did I get so off topic? The point is I need to become motivated again or else I will remain on that poster.

As a side note I blog on my droid and blogger is being very irritating by not publishing this post. It has failed over a dozen times...
Oh just saw this on blogger.com,  guess I have to wait til 8 to post...

Diet Day 17 hunger and exercise

I have decided that this weekend I will start on the exercise thing. The weather is looking better and by that I mean cooler. I think I will start off in the morning with a walk, possibly with Oscar, if he's up to going a mile. Oscar, by the way is also on a diet since well I think he needs to be. He doesn't like his new diet food, but eventually eats it when left with no alternative. I sometimes feel the same way about my food. Although honestly I have not changed what I am eating as much as just eating less of it. My biggest complaint is fresh fruit and vegetables are so awful expensive. I wish I could incorporate a more varied selection into my diet. Although apples, oranges and bananas are good, it would be nice to have some melons, kiwi or grapes. As for vegetables, I eat salad whenever I get the chance, but that isn't every day. I also know that beans and pasta are cheap and filling, but the calories to portion doesn't work out in my favor. The hard part is that I am the only one in the house dieting so sometimes I won't eat what the others are having for dinner, although I am tempted. I am happy to say I haven't had a soda since I started this diet. Now to work on my sweet tea habit. I have unfortunately had some fried foods, but a very limited amount. The point is that I am trying and I will continue.

Diet Day 15

Lost another pound today. Making good progress. Looking forward to the weather cooling off next week so maybe Oscar and I can go for a walk.
