I have been gone from 43 things for a while. I am back at it now. Start to count calories again. 2 months is my goal. Let’s see how it goes.

lunch=600
dinner=400
snacks=150

total = 1475 ( much better today!)

breakfast = 425

Today is Sunday, the beginning of a new week. I will start keeping track of those calories again. I’m going to keep under 1500 calories a day. My goal is to spend 2 months keeping track of my calories every day. I will start posting them here.

It’s been a week since I last wrote down what I ate. I need to do this! I will try again.

I missed a couple of days. I’m going to try harder with writing everything down. I figure I do keep track in my head, in a way. but, I do need to keep track by writing them down. that way, I know for sure. If I write the food and calories for 5 out of 7 days during a week, I’m doing just fine on this goal.

I am back on track with this goal. I’ve been writing it down and really keeping track. I love my calorie counting book. It’s great. It has fast food and some restaurants in it. Love it. Did you know that medium fries at McDs has 450 calories?

today. I have to do this, because there will be slippery slope effect if I don’t. I will think I can do it in my head and then I will make mistakes calculating and then not count at all and finally, I will not think about the calories as they enter my mouth. I need to do this, at least for a while. I don’t know when I will have reached this goal, maybe when I lose the weight I need to lose. I’ll have to think of what I would consider acheivement for this later. For now, I must do this.
