Day 7 - Count The Calories That Really Count
Okay, I'm actually a day ahead, but I've been working on this for about six weeks now. I use www.sparkpeople.com to record all the foods I eat. It has allowed me to calculate just how many calories I've been eating, and also to see what foods I eat. I can see where I've eaten foods that I really don't care about when I could eat something healthier that I do like. Most of my calories comes from mindless eating. For instance, those Hershey Minitures on my desk...they are so small, do I need to write it down? Oh yes I do! Each one is around 43 calories, so if you eat several of them without thinking about it, they will quickly add up. Now I need to sit down with pen and paper and really concentrate on the foods I really enjoy. I may even find healthier ways to prepare them.
