One persons weight loss doing Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition

I have been reading  articles about calorie restriction and how good it is for us. I know how good it has been for me. I look and feel much different than I did one year ago. My bones are happier too, they are carrying around less of me.

Friday is Pizza night

Today I made my popular homemade deep dish pizza. The topping is always the same, goat cheese and tomato based pizza sauce. I like the outer hard crust edges, the Greek loves the soft inside parts. We are such a team. I have about 4 3×3 pieces. I need to do a calorie count on this. The bread is hard to determine calories. I am very tight with the goat cheese, I get two pizzas out of one package.

Early Dinners

I am still eating my big protein meal around 4pm. This has helped me feel full and satisfied around 6pm. No more hunger pangs and eating late, late to me is after 7pm. I have always tried to not eat after 7pm. Now it is easier than ever. I am still eating lots of fruit. I need to find out how much is to much. I think I am eating around 700 calories of fruit a day. That does sound like a lot. It is always a variety, Apples, Plums, Melons, Strawberries, and other berries. I have a huge bowl after dinner and 2 or 3 apples before 3pm. They really fill me up and keep me until my protein meal.

Set up the Mac

I finally am working on my Mac. I have had it for several months and didn’t even turn it on. This week I upgraded my  old Photoshop and put it on the Mac. I can’t figure out how to network the PC’s to it so I was manually switching back and forth. Yesterday the PC wouldn’t go online so I was forced to set up the Mac. Hey, it was easy. After 2 days of working with it I am very happy. Hopefully by Monday I will have everything networked together. I am now a Mac convert.

I have been busy downloading and installing all my favorite Firefox plug-ings. Can’t live without my developer tools and my WordPress plugin. Tomorrow I will buy IWork. I do like a good text program so Iwork it is. I now have Fetch and Zipeg. All new stuff for me. I am liking them all.

I do admit to a neck ache from the large monitor. I need to figure out what is the best way to set it. I also think it is a bit bright. I did adjust the brightness some, maybe it needs more. I have never seen my images and web pages look better though.

I am still trying to finish my photographer friends blog.  Hope to get it finished next week. It feels like I have been working on it for months. I love the way it is coming together and so does Carol.  I will get Dreamweaver installed on this Mac and go to town on her blog.
