A great day!

So I started using one of the websites I posted this morning. I love it, I was able to plug in everything I ate today and according to it I only consumed 1200 calories, which is well in my range. It is such an easy site to use and find foods on. The web address is http://www.fitday.com/ and it is totally free. You can pay a premium for an upgrade, but the free version is great. I was even able to enter in custom foods that were not listed. It also provided diagrams, which showed that almost 50% of what I ate today were carbs. But since I am going with the calorie thing only I am not going to worry about the types of food, I am going to see how well I can do with just monitoring calories. I didn't get in any exercise today other than going up and down the steps to my classroom about 20 times today. I had the usual bowl of cereal for breakfast and lunch, along with a rice crispy treat and 60 cal. pudding cup. I had 3 mini kit-kats, a fiber bar and one slice of provolone cheese. For supper we had shake-n-bake pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes. I also had a 100 cal. chocolate snack cake. And I just realized I haven't had any soda since Saturday, and I haven't even missed it. I do drink a lot of tea sweetened with splenda or sweet n low. But, I have to have something, I guess I need to be drinking more water. Jimmy and I are leaving for St. Louis tomorrow after work to spend the weekend. We are going to stay with family, going to a Blues game Saturday night and I am not sure what we will do through the day, I think we may go on a brewery tour. Hopefully we will get in some walking and I will be able to manage my caloric intake while we are away. Tomorrow is my second weigh in day. So I will try to post my weight loss, or hopefully my weight loss and not weight gain. Then it will be off for the weekend and no computer, nice break, but I think I will miss blogging, I have really grown to love this. Till next time... And Abby, I hope you had a good night at work!
