I have used calorie counting apps in the past, but I think I will try it this way. <br /><br />And I totally feel you on the Oreo's. I literally have NO self-control when they are around, which is why I never buy them anymore.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up to Fitness Fridays on Drops of Learning!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469377999166595543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-6767470434508462702016-01-08T15:42:55.248-06:002016-01-08T15:42:55.248-06:00Love this.

When I'm in not school or working wacky hours to make up to the time off work to attend school, I'll be studying and not wanting to exercise. But that's how I put on 20-30 pounds the last 2 years of my Master's. Hopefully, I can keep that in the back of my head and it'll keep me motivated.

I like to be organized and structured. For some reason, when I type it in my phone, it doesn't motivate me the way hand written notes do. Happy New Year.

And I eat tons of whole foods, so that helps. <br /><br />But if I steal a cookie, I write down every calorie!Giftie Etceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353862141419399333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-23476170199506479782016-01-06T08:11:46.133-06:002016-01-06T08:11:46.133-06:00You truly are a better woman than I to keep such d...You truly are a better woman than I to keep such detailed tracking. I could never count calories. I get confused by size, portion, weight, etc. "um, okay, so is this considered a small or medium apple??" See? I find that by eating cleanly as possible that I'm eliminating all those sneaky calories like extra butter, dressing, cheese, etc. that's usually added. I'm even trying to drink coffee sans Splenda (which his VERY challenging!)<br /><br />Best with your progress.
