Daily Digest No. 1
Today, I started holding myself accountable for the things I consume. The ex taught me that Taco Bell, while full of bad service, is great on filling you up, and not using that many calories. I used that to my advantage today.
I decided to keep tabs on what I'm eating, just to make sure I'm not overdoing it.
My goal is that by utilizing the 2,000 calorie approach, along with a cheat day once a week, I'll be able to finally get where I wanna go. Far too often I get in a zone and try to do it too fast. I mean, who doesn't want to lose 5 lbs a week, right?
Right?
It's just that nobody with a full time job can keep that momentum up.
Today, I had a bowl of cereal (150 calories), 2 burritos (470), a nacho supreme (170) and a cup of yogurt (100).
I need to get a third meal, but that might not happen if I don't plan on going to the gym tonight. I'm not really hungry, but I haven't had any veggies, either. We'll see.

If I counted calories, I would never get a chance to eat.

I have to. That's the only way I can keep up. I'll eat... and eat... and eat... Then I'll realize I've eaten like 3K calories in one day.
It also helps me with my opportunity cost: Would you rather have the snack cakes, or dinner?

I'm a calorie counter too, but I seem to have lost my way. I need to regroup and find that path real quick. My size 36 jeans barely fit. I'm wearing 38 waist khakis today. :-(
I was doing so well.

Yup - count those calories! Keep it up - but get greens in your diet - every day, lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, something w/some fiber - your kidneys and liver will thank you for it.
