Who knew?

The celery I ate today had more calories than the popcorn I ate! Bizarro. I'm officially sold on sparkpeople.com...I learn something new about nutrition every time I log in! I'm somewhat enthusiastic about this free service...in case you couldn't tell.

So I hit all my calorie/fat/carb/protein goals today, for the first time since I joined sparkpeople. That makes me feel good, because I wasn't hungry not the once, and now I have a good idea of a rough diet to follow to meet my goals. Granted, I'm sick and don't have much of an appetite today, but still.

Day three of no sugar is nearly complete, and I only had a few moments of extreme desire for caramel/cheddar popcorn. I lost a half-pound yesterday. This no sugar shit works...for rizzle. To add to my sick/no-sugar fun, I got my period early today, so I am excited to step on the scales in five or six days, when the water bloat is gone, to check my progress.

My sinuses seem to be full of cement, and I think I swallowed some razor wire in my sleep last night. Big fun, big fun.

Be well, lovely people!

Hey Tuesday Hey

So I'm really feeling the sparkpeople.com website. It's certainly much easier to just input what I've eaten, and have someone else calculate all the quantifiable bits. These last three days, I have come in at or under my goals, with the exception of fat. I've blown my fat intake by about 10 gms a day, every day. I don't know how to feel about this, just yet. Part of me thinks that since I'm not eating any sugar, I'm okay with eating pimento cheese, even though that is the opposite of low fat. If I can't eat a cookie, I'm GONNA have some cheese. Sometimes.

I've gotten into the totally strange habit of eating celery, cucumbers and radishes for breakfast. It's totally satisfying and very filling, but not so breakfast-y. Oh well. As long as I'm getting my five, right?

I got on the scales this morning, and I've lost five of my eight holiday pounds already!! Huzzah!!! I think this blog is working for me!
