Counting!

I really hate counting calories.  Really, really!  So I’ve been on this diet for quite a few weeks, and making some progress (down, that is!) and I feel like I have a handle on most of my bad habits.  Since I hate to count calories I decided to skip that part for awhile.  Almost two weeks.  And I’ve learned a few things:

• Back-sliding (and cheating) is a lot easier when you don’t count.
• If I don’t count what’s going IN, I can’t count what goes OUT.  (No, not that!  I mean exercise!)
• When I don’t have to keep a log, I don’t exercise!
• If I don’t exercise, I don’t lose weight. 

Therefore:

Even though I really hate to count calories, I will be going back to logging everything.  Maybe I can step off of the plateau and start “losing it” again.

(Have I mentioned that I really hate to count calories?)

The obligatory journal page.  I want a deck with that view!
