I am back to COUNTING CALORIES. Plain and simple, it's just what WORKS! :) I have a few pounds to loose b/c I have been binging on sweets. :( Boo hoo me! (I am totally an emotional eater and had a rough week last week- and it caught up to me. Well, lets be honest. I went a little crazy over Easter and haven't quite recovered from that. I've "filled out" and am not liking it so much. If only it would all go to my chest! ;)

I am excited about my food again. Today the total was 1149...

wow, you only consumed 300 calories net that day. Did you feel ok? Calorie counting is hard for me, BUT WORKS!

Surprisingly YES. Today, same thing- I was around 1150. That's pretty low for me, but I am feeling less "fluffy". Hallelujah.
I know- it's a little time consuming- but right now I am digging it even though I don't have the time. :) Luckily pretty much everything is already entered so it goes pretty fast counting it all up.
Miss you.
