hey guys

I wanted to share the website I spoke about earlier...
myfitnesspal.com
or you can download the APP to your android/iphone for free

I have forever been on diets and such, this is the only thing that has helped me stick to my calorie and exercise goal. the community there is amazing, the success stories are inspirational and, it really works. you HAVE to put every single thing you put in your mouth (hah!) and I mean everything : creamer in your coffee, little mayo, anything. You will be amazed at how many empty calories are going into your body.

I was eating almost double than I should of been eating! I mindlessly ate all day not thinking that a bagel for breakfast took most of my daily calorie intake then grazing on a little here, little there...it does add up!

now my day is like this (I eat what I want, just not as much):
Breakfast
Luna Bar - Iced Oatmeal Raisin, 1 bar 180 calories
Dunkin' Donuts - Medium Ice Coffee With Cream and 2 Splenda, 24 oz 85 calories

Snack 1
Mw: Generic - Fuji Apple, Medium, 1 small 80 calories

Lunch
Home Salad - 2 cups 180 calories
Chicken Salad Sandwich Lunch 290 calories

Snack 2 (is coffee a snack? lol)
Starbuck's - Venti Iced Coffee - Nonfat Milk - Dc, 24 fluid oz. 160 calories

Dinner
Wonton Soup, 1 cup w/ 2 wontons 115 calories
Chinese - Steamed Chicken With Broccoli (No Sauce), 2 cups 280 calories
Chinese Mustard Packets - Chinese Mustard, 7 tablespoon 35 calories
Chinese - Fortune Cookie, 0.5 cookie 13 calories

all under 1500 calories for the day
+ going to the gym, per my heart rate monitor, I burned 235 calories in an hour

it becomes fun!! and it's a healthy loss every week!
