Taking a break and musing about Thanksgiving

I am thankful for the many blessing that I have.  I realize that I have to be reminded to those who are less fortunate than I am.  There are many people who are in need of food, comfort, and most of all, love.  There are so many people who will go to bed hungry and others have no family to go to. Those are the things that sadly, I have taken for granted.  I am sorry that I have become one who has not been thankful enough.

Thanksgiving musing

I have been having headaches for the past week.  I am not so sure what is wrong, but I have been overwhelmed with diet and exercise.  I wonder what else is there for me.  What is the level of support that I need?  That is a question that I need to answer for myself.

Every pound helps

I have decided not to give up on myself.  I know that I need to and will lose weight.  So far I have lost three pounds since the day I started.  However, I believe every pound and every ounce makes a difference.

None for today

Am I normal?

I am a diabetic with cholesterol and blood pressure issues.  I have PCOS, a condition in which I MUST take care of myself.  Being diabetic affect every part of my body.  PCOS is no joke.  Having said that, I have no desire to formulate a diet and exercise plan.  It has been hard and even painful. Things have been so tiresome for me.  Am I normal?

In need of help with exercise programs

I am taking a break from making a proposed menu for tomorrow.  Right now, what is important to me is that I wish to make an exercise plan.  This plan is about diet and exercise and making such plans. I feel like such a failure.  I feel this way because I have so self-conscious of my weight and my body. Despite the desire to lose weight, I have no desire to exercise.  I have no idea why, but I am a diabetic with other health issues.  Exercise is supposed to be good for me, but I have given up and it has been hard to start all over again.  I realize that an exercise plan doesn't have to be complicated but my mindset says otherwise.  I believe that my lack of desire is the reason for thinking creating an exercise plan on my own is not very easy.  However, I don't know where to begin.  Where do I begin?
I guess I can start with these simple plans:

Exercise plan plans

I realize that I need to formulate an exercise plan, not just write menus.  They are proposed because things can change at any time.  I realize that have procrastinated.  The problem is I know what to do, but I don't really know how to apply myself.  If only I could do that and take the time to do so, then I could lose weight due to healthy eating.

Musing from 11/14/14

I have so far exceeded expectations as far as my calorie consumption goes.  I tend to consume an average of 2000 calories or less, which is a far cry from the nearly 2600 calories that were on my sheet.  I am doing well so far.  However, I wonder if less than 10 minutes per day one time is a good thing.

My new plan

I have eaten  healthier than I have consumed in a while, which is either a good thing or a bad thing. Here is a diet and exercise plan I have created for myself.

BMIc = 56.1
BMIg = 40.1

Current weight = 297.0
Goal weight = 212.0
Weight loss goal = 85

Current amount of calories consumed per day on average = 3000

Calorie goal 1 = 2595 = November
Calorie goal 2 = 2495 = December
Calorie goal 3 = 2395 = January
Calorie goal 4 = 2295 = February
Calorie goal 5 = 2195 = March
Calorie goal 6 = 2095 = April
Calorie goal 7 = 1920 = May
Calorie goal 8 = 1745 = June
Calorie goal 9 = 1570 = July
Calorie goal 10 = 1395 = August

Amount of time to change the number of calories = one month
Average Amount of time for weight loss = ten months

Minimum Exercise time per month
Exercise time 1 = 8
Exercise time 2 = 12
Exercise time 3 = 15
Exercise time 4 = 20
Exercise time 5 = 25
Exercise time 6 = 30
Exercise time 7 = 37
Exercise time 8 = 45
Exercise time 9 = 54
Exercise time 10 = 60

Maximum number of carbs per month
Carbs 1 = 250
Carbs 2 = 240
Carbs 3 = 230
Carbs 4 = 220
Carbs 5 = 210
Carbs 6 = 200
Carbs 7 = 180
Carbs 8 = 170
Carbs 9 = 160
Carbs 10 = 150
