Good night --- this is a great tool.
I started today with my calories in = calories out strategy for breaking down and meeting my goals one calorie at a time.
Today, and at my present weight, my goal is to lose 2 pounds per week.
So! Fellow bloggers, I have found this tool to help me and boy did it help me. Today I went to Arby's for lunch. Hmmm, thought I would order the turkey bacon ranch on wheat and save myself some calories. OMG, you would not believe it! I came back to the office and searched under my journal to add my sandwich in...
I am thinking, ahh this might be 500 or so calories. Well, let me just tell you something. If I had ordered a regular roast beef, it would had been 330 calories. But - NO - I had to over think and analyze and spend 880 calories on my sandwich. GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!
I have now expended a total of 1130 of my allocated 1500 for the day and it is only LUNCH!
What is going on! What a crazy way to start my calories in = calories out.
This forces me to exercise for 1 hour so that I can burn 449 calories which will help me stay on target if I want to eat anything for dinner. As it stands right now, I can eat 2 apples, 1 bag of lowfat, sodium, no butter POPCORN!
SHOW ME THE BEEF...
I am resolved, to learn to think before I eat. So tomorrow, I will pop in the food items before I go to lunch and proceed to order accordingly.
In the meantime, I just finished a very slow walk on the treadmill, which - if I am lucky - will have burned off a few of the extra caloric intake for today!
