I've decided to get back on it!!
As I was lying in bed last night waiting to nod off I got to thinking about how far I've come in the past 544 days and how far I have yet to go. I decided it would be a shame not to continue the path I'm on. After all, I long to see my collar bones (can't remember the last time I saw them). I gained 5 pounds over the past 3 days and that is really BAD. I know we are not supposed to use that word but it is what it is. Today is the beginning of my continuing down the RIGHT path.
So, I joined Myfooddiary.com this morning. Cara was singing it's praises a couple of weeks ago and although there is a fee to use it, I decided I needed a tool that will help me stay on target. It does have some really neat features. The one I like the best is that after you enter a food it tells you how many calories you have left for the day in order to meet your weight loss goal for that week. This I think will be a very helpful tool for me. When I get the munchies or want something in the evenings, I can look there and see just what I can have. Just think, I will be able to check to see if I can have a cookie or not!
As hard as it was for me to do it, I updated my side bar to reflect my gain. After all, I'm doing this weight loss blog to help myself and if I can't be honest then it won't help me at all.
Hope your weekend is going well.

Sounds like you have made some very good decisions and took some great steps. The foodie diary sounds neat, I will have to check it out. It really does seem to be about what we make our mind up to happen. Like you decided (while in bed...where much of the best thinking takes place) I want to do this. I will take such and such step. I am telling myself I need to get back to work. Not just food wise, but I need to get back to being more active. YES...I can do this. So can you!
I'm so glad you've decided to keep at it!
I too need a fresh start after the holidays - now I have company! ;-)
I think you made some wise decisions! First you faced the music (ok, so it wasn't 'pretty'..but you did it when you accepted that there was a gain). Secondly, you took a step towards fixing the problem.
That said, sometimes actually paying for something makes us use it more!!!!
Are the dogs your's? Is it the same dog? I'm behind on my reading and to tired to catch up. I'll go back tomorrow and read what I have missed. I was noticing on the side bar tht you aren't far from your goal. You will get there. I know you will. Have a great Sunday.
Sorry for all the errors in the comment about. No spell check.
Good for you for getting right back on track! i too, gained a few pounds this week, first time in ages, but I tracked my foods all week and expected it due to all the ham and kielbasa I ate. Hope some clean eating in the next few days gets rid of all that sodium! Keep up the good work!
