Let's Talk about the Calorie Counting in Healthy Bites

I was doing so good when I first started calorie counting.

Now, I am doing not so great. I am going over 400 calories four or five times out of the week. Instead of having my weekend where I can eat whatever I want without any “calorie consequences,” now, it is getting to the point where I am going over too much on the week day.

I am going to have to exercise more well-power so I can get myself under control and come at eat 2,000 calories or below it.

I need to start exercising soon as well.

I got annual park pass. The park is only about five to seven miles where I work at. I could bring my workout clothes with me to work, put them on, and drive to the park to walk/run for an hour at least four times a week to start. Or maybe I should try for three times a week and ease into it. I am getting the hang of tracking my calories pretty well again. So, I need to go ahead and start doing my exercising and tracking that as well.
As for drinking water, I drink consistently daily. However, I need to drink at least a 100 oz of water daily. I notice when I am drinking more water, I am eating less as well.

If I have time, I need to analyze what I am eating and when I am eating it. I know when I overeat it is usually because I am under stressed. I also know that I have a historical pattern of consuming a lot of calories with what kind of liquids I consume (Starbucks, soda, etc.). I am going to have to learn again how to sacrifice some drinks for others and not have that many.

When I was fit and on track two years ago, this was a breeze to me. I was on track and consistent. This is tough doing this, but I know that I feel better overall by tracking what I eat and making sure that I don’t over eat.

It is going to take some time, but I am confident that I will do better!
