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

      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?

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me.  Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.   Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.
