Let's C if this works.

Caesars.

DAMN IT.  Who's idea was this to change my theme?

 

 Counting Calories.

Sometimes I count my daily caloric intake and sometimes I don't.  Sometimes I'm a little fat and sometimes I'm a lot.
........

Counting calories it is.


I've been using My Fitness Pal for about 3 years.  I weigh the same now as when I started.  It's going well.  When I actually use the app, I track everything I eat and stay within my caloric limits and I start seeing weight loss success.   
WHEN I use the app.  

I will be using My Fitness Pal diligently throughout this month to count my calories and stay on track to lose these last 10 pounds. 



Do I still need to abstain if I stay within my calories?

    Using a calorie counter was how I started my weight loss journey and it has helped a lot. I still use it on occasion, but I'm not as dedicated as I used to be....

    I had no idea such an app existed! I'm going to find it now :)

    I used one for a while, but it just made me feel bad. :(

      ^oops! I commented under my other account ;)

      I just stopped by for a visit. I'm now self conscious of my commas.

    I try to avoid counting calories. My approach is to either accept the expanding waistline or get out and exercise more.

    I used Myfitnesspal for a while, it worked great. The problem is that I'm not too lazy to run, or too lazy to eat right, but I AM too lazy to sit down and figure out the calories for anything that isn't already in their database. I found you on the A to Z challenge, and not related to this post, but WHAT A GREAT NAME FOR A BLOG!

      I completely agree with both MFP and my name!! ;)

      A lot of my calories are added as "quick add" calories. Between my nutrition scale and my printed fruit/veggie/meat guides that are taped to the inside of my cupboards, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm consuming. This is probably why I'm always quitting MFP....

    I always had trouble adding calories... Some extras always sneaked in. Good luck with your goals. I used to enjoy running when I was younger, but I am a long way from it now. Stopping by on the A-Z

enough IS enough.

  I can think of many 'e' words that are relevant to my commit to be fit theme for this A-Z Challenge: energy, exertion, educate, excel...the list could go on and on. I finally settled on the word 'enough'.   Christmas of 2010 I was at the lowest weight I had ever been.  I remember being very happy and very, very hungry.  I was over-exercising and under-eating.  The weight didn't stay off because it wasn't a lifestyle that I could keep up with.  By summer 2011, the weight was back on. In my commitment to be fit and my quest to lose the last 10 pounds, I will be doing enough.   I will exercise enough and I will eat enough.  I will change my body and change my life in a healthy, and maintainable way. When I run, I will run fast enough.  When I lift, I will lift heavy enough.  When I stretch, I will stretch far enough.   I will, simply, do enough.

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

Kick Ass.

  Day 11, Letter K, and almost 5 pounds gone!  I'm kicking ass at my A-Z Commit to be Fit Challenge!!   I'm quite certain that the next 5 pounds are going to be quite a bit tougher than the first 5, but I'm willing to do the work.
