The 17 Day Diet- Day 4

Ugh, I think I might have cheated with out knowing it. Nah, probably not, but at least I'll know for sure with this new app Megan told me about! I put in my weight and how much I exercise and it calculates how much calorie intake I should have a day. It's called the Myfitnesspal App and it's awesome. I used it today for my mother and I. I enter our food intake (including restaurant food) and it tells you if you've gone over or not. My mom totally failed and went over but I didn't! I still have 370 calories remaining for today out of 1, 200 that I'm allowed. What what! But, I just checked and it said I might be in starvation mode O.o I'm not TRYING to be anorexic here! I'll need to make it 1, 200 even for tomorrow, if not it can slow down my metabolism and make me lose weight slower. So, for today I started off the morning weighing myself, as it's best to weigh yourself when you wake up. You get the most accurate results. Then I ate eggs! With cheese and ham! My mom only had yolks, as she used up all the whites before. Still, it was pretty good. Then I went to Trader's Joe and found healthy-yet yummy-peanut butter, my one true vice! It was gluten free, aw yeah! I was a little too excited. Then I got some sliced granny apples (because red ones suck, sorry) and made a yummy little snack/lunch. After a while, mom and I headed to Elephant Bar to grab some appetizers. I had a really delicious tomato basil soup (410 calories), while my mom had the chicken lettuce wraps. The wok chicken and lettuce wraps are deceptively healthy looking! I checked my app--2, 030 mg of sodium!! What the hell?! Sure it's 570 calories, but come on! It's not JUST about the calories. So, this app is really great for just keeping track. It seemed a little complicated and too much of a hassle at first, but it's turning out to be more useful than I expected. I'm really big on keeping it simple, none of that calorie calculating and writing down every little thing you eat and weighing your food--none of that. This app does a lot of it for me though, plus it's on my phone so I can just type in the into as I'm eating so I don't forget later. Then I can use it to update this blog! Win win! So, that's all for today. Tomorrow I vow to eat a little more! (Now that's something I didnt' expect to say while dieting...)

Today's weight: 126.4 lbs
