Well, I have decided to count calories for awhile and boy I am glad I did! Just yesterday, I exceeded my goal calories for the day by 243 calories and I would have never guessed it. You really do underestimate the calories contained in food!!

I have decided also, to post my food intake and calorie count each day just as a way for me to keep accountable. Feel free, if you see something that would help to change or include/exclude, to let me know. :)
