I didn’t have a clue what foods had how many. Now that I’ve joined “Lose It,” a calorie-counting website, I am pretty much horrified about how many are in my favorite foods. And amazed by how many I burn just in a normal day.
You have to put down a weight loss goal on Lose-It and on the Wii that we just bought to replace our YMCA membership. And, as a petite person, I didn’t really know what to put down. My real goal is to get Cool to slim down by being supportive and changing our eating/exercising lifestyle for the better. My secondary goal is to drink something other than coffee and alcohol. I really do NOT. Drink anything else. Nope, not even/ever water. I fail on this. Also, I would like to sneak some produce into my diet. So to be able to get charted and stuff, I just put the bottom number on my BMI chart. It’s 101 pounds.
And I am obsessed with calorie-free condiments and sauces. How is it even possible? How can yummy food have 0 calories? I am buying them left and right. Also, I have discovered veggie burgers. My blog on that will be posted tomorrow.
Anyway, I will let you know about our progress. And yes, it sucks to be mindful of calories. I was in a happy bubble of ignorance before. And now that I know, well, it’s just awful to be aware!
