and so much for that idea

It's been a whole two meals and the calorie counting just doesn't work. Like I ate two bites of chicken that was way too spicy for me. How many calories is that? I share a chunk of my food with the baby. How many calories do I deduct? Then I ate butter on toast. And, no I didn't measure the butter. Rebel me. I think I'm too much of a grazer, and food sharer to make this completely accurate. I could bust out my calculator and portion control everything but that just seems way too obsessive and I don't have enough time for that. I still think it's a good idea to write what you eat but I'm not too sure about the writing every calorie down.

I have however lost 2 inches on my waist. Yeah!!! I gained 1/2 inch in my hips and thighs. Thighs-probably muscle, hips-?? not sure.

I'm writing this not to bore you with my progress but telling people about my goals seems to help me stick with it. And just the act of writing it down, helps too. Keeps you accountable. Yeah, I'm a dork, I know.
