Day 21
Sep 21 2009 14:55

I'm on day 21 of my lifestyle change.  Counting calories has made me want to improve in other aspects of my life.  Like being organized and reading and learning more...I FLOSS NOW!!

I will admit I have slipped up a few times in the past 21 days.  1 day I had a slice of pizza and a cinnamon treat and then left over steak and fried foods from a restaurant.

Another time I ate 4 taco's from taco bell...I did get them fresca stlye so there was no cheese or sourcream but they still clocked in at 190 calories a piece.  

Another time my sister brought a pizza home and I had a piece and the other day I had some left over chinese.

Wow...it's good to admit when I messed up.  I still logged all my calories from those times that I messed up.  I would always put them in and cringe as I would scroll down to (see the damage)...Luckily only one of these ended in a day at 3000 calories....  This is my calorie count for the 21 days so far.

I went over my target 7 times.  But I was still eating less calories then I need to maintain for 6 of those days...so there was still a small deficit so I'm not going to beat myself up about it.  

I still keep my portions under control.  My biggest problem seems to be late night eating.  Everytime I indulged in the fatty foods was late at night.  I need to read or do something to take my mind off food before I fall asleep.  

I know I can beat this.
