omigosh, so I am seriously counting calories now. I have a recipe counter that If I don't know how much is in it, I don't eat it (I'm pretty sure I'm going to drive my husband crazy for a little while)
I have to tell you I'm surprised by a couple of things, number 1: how fast that needle on my home scale is moving in the right direction, and number 2, how much the things I don't think much of are!
for example, I found this recipe that my mom and I made years ago, loaded with veggies and it seemed really good, so I made it. then I ran it through my calorie counter, for one serving (which I would normally eat 2) is more than 325 calories!! that means I had been eating 600 calories every time I ate!! That's nuts! not to mention all the coke I would be having with it!
but I have been very proud of myself. I've had no mess ups, but I'm nervous with Halloween coming we'll have to see what happens over the next couple of days. I'm hoping the exercise I get balances out the candy I may or may not be eating. (again, I will be checking on calories and writing everything down..)
