At least I’m being accountable

Ok, I’ve started tracking my calories again. After that and everything I said yesterday, we still went to the mall last night. We ate at CPK and I felt a little less guilty and didn’t feel the need to eat every last thing on my plate, which is what I had been feeling the previous nights.

I’m still guessing the meal cost me around 998 calories (based on my-calorie-counter’s calculations). I came in under 2000 for the day though, so that makes me feel a little better. It’s not ideal but it’s a start. During the previous week I’ve been in ravenous binge mentality during those dinners out. I was practically licking plates for every last crumb and smear of sauce.

I’ve also joined the Self magazine 3 month challenge. There’s only 2 months left but all I’m really interested in is being accountable to yet another source and seeing if I can learn some more tips on what a real healthy lifestyle is. They have menu suggestions and workout routines that could help you lose about 10 pounds a month if you follow them properly. It’s kind of like having a personal trainer or advisor.

I felt weird entering my CPK dinner and writing that I had two beers and all. I could envision my imaginary personal trainer reading that, shaking his head in disappointment. At least I’m not lying about it. :-)
