Love my Iphone!

My week has been great. I have been tracking my daily calories with an Iphone App called "my fitness pal" i have a 1330 calorie intake and as I add what I eat it tell me my remaining amount. It also allows me to add my cardio, and it will minus calories lost and add extra calories to intake etc you get the point. Well I love it! It is working really well for me.

Today we decided to go out for dinner to red lobster with my sister and her boyfriend. We haven't been there for a while, so I was looking forward to it. Soooo I added my calories to my app... not the best idea haha! Can't even bare to tell you the calorie intake for a dinner blah! It was good tho haha! Eating out adds much to much calories :(

We just had to get dessert :) We only got 1, and we shared :)

During the week I have been eating a sort of 2 course meal. A new thing I do is add a bowl of salad on it's own. Eat that first then eat my dinner. That way I fill up on my greens before I get to my dinner ;)

Weekend is here! Hope you all have a great weekend! :)

  2. Good idea! I love salads anyway, so it's doable! And it hard to stay within calorie bounds at Red Lobster! Just about everything is fried and those cheese rolls are to die for!

  4. Hey! I saw your blog in the weight loss group on 20something bloggers. I've been trying to do the salad thing too, or a light soup. I'm gonna have to check that iphone app out!

  5. Hey there... stopping by from Sharefest on SITS...

    Okay- as the 40-something Mom of 6 who has been there done that on every diet... the best things you can do are to eat your salad and drink a class of water... a tall one with ice... before every meal.
    The salad will satisfy some of the oral gratification you crave when you cut back on certain foods ( like the fried, crunchy and the chocolately, gooey kinds) and the water will help you to feel full sooner so you eat less. Only eat until you no longer feel hungry--- never eat until FULL... smaller, more frequent meals help immensely as do multi-vitamins to help manage hunger and prevent binge eating... like a pint of Ben & Jerry's at one time or a bag of BBQ chips... not a good thing, I know!
    Good Luck with your healthy eating habits... and remember to exercise everyday... walking in place counts too!
    I'll be checking on your progress as I work on mine!
