After waking up on Tuesday morning and weighing 116.4 lbs, I decided that I really needed to start eating better. The last week has been filled with carbs, hamburgers, hotdogs and nachos, and while generally it hasn't made much difference on the scale, I could see that I was bloated and I did not like that at all. So with some encouragement from a friend, I signed up on myfitnesspal.com. What an awesome site!
In addition to having a much healthier eating day yesterday, I was able to get a breakdown of my diet by carbs, fat and protein, which will be very helpful. I can also input what I am planning on eating for the whole day ahead of time, and see where there are any surpluses or shortfalls. I think this will be a very helpful tool.
This being said, once I input my exercise that I had done last night, I realized that I had undereaten by about 700 calories yesterday. This is definitely something to keep an eye on as I come up with healthier choicesfor my meals while keeping my calorie count up. And, not that it matters... after drinking a bunch of water and eating very healthily yesterday, I weighed in at 114 lbs this morning, and feel much better :-)
