I have even started my sparkpeople account back up and I am daily logging the intake, even when I don't like what I see. Thanks for the reminder about calories.

It might be a "nuisance," but it's the most reliable and helpful nuisance I've ever committed to in my entire life. Calorie counting is how I learned what I learned in order to lose what I lost. I can't start you off any other way. I’d say I’ve got nothing for you. It might be a “nuisance,” but it’s the most reliable and helpful nuisance I’ve ever committed to in my entire life.

I personally hate doing that. Keeping a food journal counting calories is just an annoying nuisance to me. Have any advice for someone like me?

If you know your day might be light on the calorie side and you can tame your cravings, you'll probably be good to hit up the donut joint or The Cookout (I'm snarling as I type that, by the way LOL) and can keep that in mind. I'm also with you on the treating yourself thing! That one little sentence said a lot! It was a long time before I could understand that "treating yourself" didn't mean "every day with the junk food," so I have a new appreciation for that! Planning that in advance, being mindful of it thru the day, building excitement and still being able to indulge at evening time? Definitely. Sounds like it might be a new post, lol. Thanks for stopping by! :) LOLOL Reecie, I swear I didn’t, but damn if it wasn’t appropriate! :)

I knows it! LOL. But yeah, I know I won't count calories everyday, but doing it reaffirmed that I was pretty accurate in my mental estimations. I will try to keep it up especially on days I think that I want to "treat myself". and as you said its a good way to be knowledgeable about the gross amount of calories some of our favorite foods have! and encourage you to live healthier. good series. you definitely used a shake as your example on purpose.
