so . . . i have to start working on my nutrition . . . all this time i thought if i ate the right foods in whatever quantity that i was doing good . . . i cook damn near everything i can find on skinnytaste.com and eat it until i can't stuff another bite down my throat . . . well little did i know how many calories i was consuming even if they were so-called "skinny" calories . . . the skinny recipes only work if they are eaten in the right portions . . . and boy were my portions OFF!! . . . i tracked the majority of my food consumption yesterday on my fitness pal and was shocked to see the number of calories i had consumed . . well over 700 more than my calorie goal . . . that was an eye opener . . . needless to say i broke out my measuring utensils when i packed my lunch last night to be sure that i was consuming the correct portions today and going forward . . . that $0.82 i spent at Wal-Mart on a set of measuring spoons/cups is about to be put to work . . . i entered my breakfast, snacks and lunch into the tracker for today and i have 439 calories left for dinner . . . not bad . . . a far cry from yesterdays consumption . . . i just have to stick to my meals and usually that's not a problem . . . hope there's no office birthdays today . . . . so i'm gonna give my fitness pal i fair try for about a month and see if having that tool makes a difference on my waistline . . . . i'm hoping so . . . so here's to "knowing" instead of guessing and assuming . . . and like my good friend G.I. Joe once said . . . knowing is half the battle . . . if you are on my fitness pal . . . please add me . . . let's motivate each other :)
