Re: Just 10 Lbs: anne

[Guest guest]

Anne,

I have used Fitday since my first day on SBD. Some people here never

look at how much they eat and they do fine. But, I figure with my

being unable to exercise, I need to watch how much I eat. Like I said,

I try to stick to around 1200. But, I don't get nuts if I go over once

in a while.

Right, ann -- I remember you suggested I might try that. I had been using

it before I

came, but let it go amid the various remarks being made that I was overthinking

and

watching the numbers too closely. (I know part or the whole appeal of SBD is

that you

CAN lose the numbers and let the diet do the work . . . and that's probably fine

for people

in their 40s and younger.) I do plan to go back to P1 today -- if we get to the

store, here

in the Boston area . . . .and I hope we do. We were busy working the first day,

and

yesterday there was too much snow and I sort of spent the day catching up on

sleep. So

far, today, I've been good -- but need to start eating the right stuff again.

Started back

on exercise this morning, and, will resume P1 as soon as I get to the store.

Thanks for the

reminder and the nudge! With my BMI supposedly around 1346, I should lose at

1200,

which is where I'd been keeping my calorie count prior to SBD. But it wasn't

happening.

We'll see what happens with these foods. And, I must add that I am lucky in

that I CAN

exercise. (I take nothing for granted.)

I don't know how old you are, but age DOES slow things down, ALSO, as

so aptly

pointed out. I hate to admit the age thing, and OF COURSE I am QUITE CERTAIN

that I look

so young that NO one EVER would suspect the truth if I didn't TELL them (

;-) ) .
