MyFitnessPal

When was the last time I checked in with ya'll???  I think it was Friday!  WOW!  and today is Wednesday.  Obviously I've had a really busy week and the best part of all?!?  I've really jump started my running and eating better again.  I'm so happy about this.  I really owe this re-connect to MyFitnessPal.  It is an app on my iphone and I've used it before but this time, for some reason, I'm really into it...it ROCKS!

When I started this whole weight loss thing over a year ago, I decided I wouldn't worry about counting calories...I would just make healthy choices and move on from there.   That worked for over 60 pounds but as I've been stalled for the last few months, I knew I needed to get my butt movin and start counting calories...even if just for a few weeks.  So this is what I'm doing...

Below is my food diary from yesterday...I LOVE this thing...you can't cheat it!  Sometimes I would find myself estimating this and estimating that...but this is really great and keeps me honest!!!  Not to mention keeps me in check in terms of carbs/fats and protein!!  (wish there was a spot for fiber on this summary). 

It also makes me really really think about whether something is worth it or not.  This is the benefit of tracking in any format...Weight Watchers, Daily Plate...anything.  My advice?!?  If you really want to lose weight...write down EVERYTHING you eat for a full week.  You will make healtier choices just becuase you had to write it down :)  trust me...

What you don't see here is the additional 450 calories I earned (already showing in my Daily Goal Total)due to my extensive workout with Lynn last night.  We hit the road for more than 3 miles (2 of those were running).  We had a great night on a new path!!  Can't wait to do it again tonight :)

I didn't see the results on the scale this morning but that's ok...Friday is the weigh in that counts and honestly...how much does the number on a scale really matter anyway?! :)

I like the motivation this tool gives you too...when I completed my entries yesterday on the app, it shot me this message (GREAT MOTIVATOR)

Oh hell yeah!!!  I'm gonna be skinny mini in no time :)

I have to talk about just one more thing that happened this weekend...

We celebrated Mason receiving his first communion...Isn't he adorable?!?! :)

Alright...time for me to get to it...

Question: Do you like food pics??  should I continue posting pictures of what I eat??  Just wondering if it is getting old and boring (you know how to reach me), or comment here :)
