Week 1 of Counting Calories

So I've made it my first week of counting calories. I've lost 9 lbs. already, I can't notice it really but hopefully I will soon. Since I lost that amount already my fiance wants to join me. He can eat more calories than I can. He gets 1575 and I only get 1200. But I am happy with what I can eat. I can change meals around to where every now and then... I can have those fast foods that I like, not all of them but some of them. If the calories are high in that one meal I really want, I can eat something earlier or later with lower calories. This way, I'm not depriving myself completely. If I need a little chocolate, I still eat my Almond Snickers, with 280 calories. But I don't go over my calorie intake. If I do a little, it's okay, because what I consume in a day now if what I use to consume in one meal!

Starting a Diet

So, I've decided to join my friend and start a diet. She's been counting calories for a month and a week, and lost 12 lbs. We are about the same height and she allows herself 1200 calories a day. I did some research on webMD and to loose 2 lbs. a week, I should only consume 1200 calories a day. I am adding a workout each morning to my diet and hope I get to my goal a little faster. Well, hopefully this works!

The Ghost Hunt

So, since the last story I posted... I decided to have some of my friends over to investigate my house... We had a little ghost hunt from 12am to 4am. All of us were in the livingroom, one of my friends and myself heard someone open and close the back laundryroom door twice then walk into the kitchen with about 7 footsteps.... Be silent for five minutes, then walk back to the laundryroom, then open and close the door two more times. Later that night we heard more small noises like tapping, some banging on the wall, the sound of a foot slam down on the ground between another girl and myself, I also saw someone standing in the kitchen later that night. I haven't looked at the video footage yet, but just from what we experienced, I emailed ghost hunters.

Scary Story

This just happened last night. I don't think I can describe how terrified I was... I was up alone around 11pm, I was making a cd on the computer, and I heard noises coming from the laundryroom. I thought it might be the cats eating, then I walked in the livingroom and both of them were sleeping. I went back to the computer and tried to ignore the sound. I looked over toward the laundryroom door after a while and saw someone looking at me through the window on the door and pushing the door open a little. I immediatly screamed for my fiance who was sleeping and quickly stumbled to the bedroom door from being terrified. I tried screaming for him again and my voice barily came out. I rushed in the door and told him someone was in the house. He loaded his gun and went to the laundryroom. I checked on our daughter meanwhile to make sure she was okay. I heard my fiance talking, so I cautiously walked to the laundryroom. He was giving a warning for whoever was in the house "I'll give you 10 seconds to leave". Nothing happened so he walked toward the back of the laundryroom and into the bathroom. No one was there. The doors were locked. And no one can get out our windows. Lets just say, I had the hardest time staying calm last night and going to sleep... But I wasn't staying up alone.
