LoseIt!

I've been so exhausted recently that I've barely had anytime to prepare food for myself. I've been cooking once in awhile but I don't have the energy to do the dishes. It's either all my energy is being sapped by work, or it's because I haven't worked out in so long. Which makes me think I should start counting calories again, and say goodbye to Low-carbing for awhile. :( I thought I would have the time and energy to do it once the wedding was over, but it doesn't seem like it. And I don't want to look the part TOO much when I'm the Matron of Honor at my best friend's wedding (I did my measurements last weekend, and the numbers were quite horrifying). So I'm going back to frozen entrees, which really aren't that bad especially when I get a lot of Amy's frozen meals. This will give me the time to start working out again as well. It will also be cheaper and will give me more options than if I went back on Jenny.

I use a very handy iphone app for my calorie counting called LoseIt!. It has a basic database of ingredients and common grocery items. You can also add your own items if you can't find them in the app. It shows your weight trend, and also calculates how many calories you should have every day depending on your age, your weight loss goal, your current weight and your target date. You can add friends as well and see how you're stacking up to them diet-wise. I friended my old roommate and we had a bit of fun comparing what we'd eaten and what exercises we'd done. I'm still deciding whether I should be completely shameless and tell everyone about my daily menu.
