I’vbe been dieting. I use lthe Lose It app to track my calorie intake. I’ve cut down on sugars, fats, and processed grains. I’ve added lots more veggies and fruits.
So far, I’ve lost 10 pounds. I’d like to lose another 10. I haven’t been exercising much, so I’m going to bump it up.
I was going almost every day to Starbuks and getting a latte, and then lots of times I’d get a patry. Just cutting that out is cutting my calorie intake and savng my payroll. It was a very bad habit!
The main time I use sugar is for some homemade salad dressings. I’ve switched to using honey in some of them.
I’ll have to check out the app, right now I have an excel spreadsheet I enter them on and keep track of Protein, Carb, Fiber, Sugar grams and total calories per meal and total per day and ounces of water drank.
I’m cutting out the wine and specialty craft beers in the evenings too. I’ll miss my red wine.
And I’ve bought local honey at my little “hometown” grocery store too. Bought some of the Blue Guava (sp?) double bottle at Costco once, thought it’d be better, threw them both in the garbage. Yuck.
The one thing I can’t give up is my hot tea with milk and sugar. It’s a stress thing. I just compensate for the calories on other foods.
