Walking and Counting




So I have recently started....not a diet but a "lifestyle change". It hasn't been easy though! My doctor told me to do 1200 calories a day and why it may not sound too bad...you would be quite surprised at how easily they add up. I have been keeping a journal and I carry a "Biggest Loser Calorie Guide" which has the calorie amount for almost everything. You just have to do a lot of math to add all the different ingredients together. So I try to stick to my healthy choice frozen dinners that tell me how many calories are there as well as soup and 100 calorie packs. I think I have been doing pretty well...I have been under 1000 for the most part. I have also been walking around the lake at the nearby park with my sister with our bundled up babies or running up and down my stairs. I am feeling pretty good actually but have a very, very long road ahead of me!
