It is 14 º out.
I started to journal my food again and see in black and white what I have done. A little here, a little there, maybe a cup and a half instead of a cup and I am eating 2200 to 2600 calories a day. Thus lays my problem. I am back to counting and measuring again plus journaling my food. I need to do that. I am starting phase 1 monday and am anxious to see how that adds up nutritionally.
My incisions look better and I want to go to the gym but don't want to mess myself up. I feel like my muscles are turning to jelly. I really miss lifting the weights. I had just started getting into the free weights more and really liked it. I didn't expect it to be taking me this long to recover. I need to get back to work. My son gave me $300 to help make ends meet. He is a good son.
Breakfast is going to be Honey Nut shredded wheat, 1 cup with no fat milk. I am not sure about lunch. I think a salad sounds good. I have salmon or chicken in the freezer so supper will be one of those. I want to try to eat 1200 today, 1500 tomorrow and then south beach on Monday. Your not supposed to count calories with south beach but I think I had better for awhile.
Most people want to be winners
but thats not the case with me,
I want to be on the other side
a loser I want to be.
I want to weight to go away
I dont want it to stay,
I want to hold my head of high
"I did it," I want to cry!
A loser I want and will become
the inches and the pounds will go,
I will be curvy and thinner
because I can I know.

I found that I needed to measure and weigh and keep track of everything on SB, too. Since I had done so well with LAWL, I went back to using those portions but SB foods.
I have heard on Fitday.com you can log your food and it will calculate your cals for you. Although, when I tried to use it, I found that it didn't have many of the foods I eat listed there and if you have to "create a new food" then you have to enter all the nutritional information in anyway. What's the point? I just use http://www.calorieking.com and a steno notebook!
I've gone back to calculating all my cals, fat, fiber, protein, sodium, and carbs. It's really interesting! I'm trying to stick to less than 150 g of carbs per day. That seems to help me a lot.
Have you thought about making an online AOL journal for your food journal? One of the reasons I made one was to keep myself accountable since everyone could see it. =) http://journals.aol.com/dacarson893/WeightLossFoodJournal/
