Obviously, after the fact, I looked up
caloric intake of my favorites that I was guaranteed to order. Breakfast, I had
a McDonald’s Big Breakfast with Hot Cakes Platter…1,150 calories. On a healthy
diet, one should consume 1,200 calories in a day. Moving to lunch…Sonic Route
44 Cherry Limeade? Yup, that’s 460 calories. We went during the two for
one...so, double that. Had about two or three slices of pizza from Little
Caesar’s for dinner time. I don’t even want to research that one. I’ve already
gone a day and a half of calories in one day. This can’t be good…

On the Go with Two and a Half House Sitting Jobs
It’s been really
difficult sticking to any sort of nutrition plan with two and a half
housesitting jobs. The half house sitting job requires me to go three times a
day. Of course, when do we go? Breakfast time, lunch time and dinner time. So,
rather than cooking, I have my fifteen year old chauffer drop by fast food
joints and we get stuff to eat. Oh, yes, I know there are healthy choices
available. Do I choose them? Of course not. Would you choose brussel sprouts
over cupcakes?

House Sitting Jobs and Routines
It is always a
challenge trying to maintain a routine while house sitting. I have, well, I try
to have a consistent morning and evening routine to keep my nutrition and
fitness goals in check. When I housesit, though, the entire routine becomes
nonexistent. After all, I’m having to follow the owners routines (water the
plants, feed the animals, etc.) based on their time frame and schedules. It’s
very difficult trying to mesh both routines. Then, if they have futuristic
technology – which most of them do – that I have no clue how to work, I’m left
without my morning video workout.
I am not unhappy with any of my house
sitting jobs. I love something that I get paid for. However, it’s a challenge
to lose weight when I am house sitting, because of the reasons stated. I have
some upcoming jobs and it will be interesting to see how this goes.

Diary of a Fatty Slimdown
Hooray for you;
hooray for me! I have finally decided which fitness program to do and I,
actually, got off my bottom to do it. Unfortunately, I lasted thirteen minutes
and forty-five seconds. Then it took forty-five minutes and thirteen seconds
for my beat-red, lobster face to turn back to its normal color. I’m just
kidding…I don’t know how long it took to turn back to its normal color, but it
was long.
I am starting
Beachbody’s Insanity workout, which is not for the faint-hearted; probably not
for me, either, but I don’t care. I started with the fit test and couldn’t
complete it. That is probably a sign that I need to find another workout
program. However, I’m going try something different. Hear me out…
I will try the
program and mark down my time where I passed out. I will slowly build the
amount of time I worked out, until I can finish a video. The workout is so
intense that I have to be getting SOMETHING in thirteen minutes. Right?
Something is better than nothing.
Wish me luck!
