Food and Fitness Journal

I have been logging my daily intake of food.  I have been honest about what I have been eating and how much.  The calorie counter adds up how much I have consumed for the day and it tells you how many calories you have left for the day or how many you went over.  I thought I had been doing very well.  I have been doing well through the day with lowfat everything and cutting down in general.  My calorie counter said I was under my daily allotment of calories.  Then I noticed something key in this diet gig.  To lose weight, I need to be consuming 1500 calories.   I have been consuming around 2000.  Better than usual, but disappointingly not helpful to my little attempt of weight loss.

I have adjusted the counter and my pride has been knocked down a notch or two.  I will work harder to do what I can to make the numbers go down, but when you start breaking your food down into parts you realize just how much goes into your body.

Hopefully I will soon return to the gym.  I have basically been a financial backer for the gym instead of a member.  Just paying my dues each month and never stepping foot inside.  My goal is to step back inside SOON.
