Calorie Counter

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to really work at losing weight. Well, I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually started eating better yet. In fact, this week at VBS, I have been eating a bunch of crap. I need to start calorie counting again and then I would see how much I’m really taking in…and I think I would be shocked!

My Fitness Pal has a free calorie counter that is online. I like this idea because it is easy to use and it’s a lot harder to lose my computer than it is to lose a paper list! I really do think that using a calorie counter will be a good accountability tool for me….now, I want someone to join me in this effort! Anybody???

I Want To Be a Big Fat Loser!

• “Just one more big fattening meal ‘cause I’m going to start really eating well tomorrow!”

• ”We can eat this ice cream tonight but after this we can’t do this…well, maybe once a month but definitely not nightly!”

• “Look at my belt buckle…I’m down another notch”

The first two quotes are what you will often hear me say. The last quote is what I have been hearing Pete say! Yep…you guessed it! Pete’s losing weight and I’m gaining it just as fast!! I can’t let this happen…I WILL lose more weight than him…I want to be the Big Fat Loser!!

I have a weight-loss goal chosen. I need to count my carbs and I want to keep a journal. I also want to drink lots of water…I really, really don’t like water but I know it’s so good for us! When I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, I managed myself very well and I think the key was the journal I had to keep. I’m going to be using MyFitnessPal which offers a free calorie counter where I can keep track of my food intake and exercise. This counter works well with any plan of action you have to lose weight.

And I'm going to start....at lunch! lol!!
