I really find an i phone application called Tap and Track to be such a help, I can keep track of all my calories right there and track my weight and see how I'm doing with food on the recommended 40:30:30 ratio....40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. I've noticed even when I try and eat more protein, I'm still usually, short of that, and so that is a big part of my eating well is eating more protein, fruits and veggies. I really do feel better when I eat right, but loosing weight is hard work, it wears on you a little, in fatigue and other areas but I know it will be worth it. So that's the news on my personal goal front for you lone or near lone followers :)

I feel your pain. Don't be too hard on yourself--it is a WHOLE lot harder to lose weight when you are tired from chasing a new baby around and getting up with him in the night. Do you ever give yourself a free meal where you can eat whatever you'd like? I know several diet plans will do that just once a week, and that makes a difference to me (especially if I'm out on a date with Kelly :-)). Anyway, hang in there. Remember that the goal should not be to be skinny, but to be healthy.
Thanks Melody!! Good ideas! Yeah I've totally given up on skinny and Healthy is my main goal.... :). I think one's healthy point looks and feels best anyhow :)
Well I only made it 2/3 through my goal weight by June but it's better then none at all or gaining!! I plan to crack down on this again after Maine and try for another 5k in late summer or early fall!
