Extraordinary!

I am trying not to make this my forum for my weight loss. But something that I did this morning made me go WOW.

It doesn't take a real intelligent person to realize that you are gaining (or holding) a lot of weight due to over consumption of food. I understand that. No brainer.

On this website that I've previously posted about (CC+) it allows you to keep track of your daily intake of calories, fat, carbs, protein, fiber, ect... I've been keeping track for nine days. Love it.

I've been talking about tracking a day's menu BEFORE I started paying attention to my intake. So I did that this morning. I wrote down a typical day. Here is what I came up with:

Calories: 2800 +/-
Fat: 100g +/-
Carbs: 400 +/-

!

I've averaged the past nine days for me. This is what is looks like now:

Calories: 1500
Fat: 37g
Carbs: 180g

I know that I can do better and I will.

So even though I'm not dropping a pound a day (I wish!), I am feeling better. Especially knowing that I am eating healthier. I know it will pay off.

Just thought I'd share.
