I see what you did there... and yes, I really would like to get to the point where I enjoy exercising again. I threw shotput and discus through HS and used to loooove lifting weights. Maybe I'll try doing some weights again :)

Ok you guys have given me a lot of great things to think about and work on! So far I've got: * Eat more of my calories early in the day, less at dinner time * Eat less processed foods, more raw or homemade * Make sure I take my lunch to avoid the hungry-desperate-fast-food-trip * Watch my sodium and Carb (simple) intakes *…

Instead I have to put in each darn ingredient (he tells me portions) and then divide that whole total by the amount of the food I ate. Kale soup is the perfect example. I had to take all the…

I actually dont eat out much, but sometimes I have to put in estimations (my husband is a chef). As for burgers I'm pretty sure I've only had one burger (cheeseburger) and one Black bean burger in the few weeks I've been tracking. I'm not sure where the sandwich is but I dont eat those either.
