Fresh Start

Today is a new day and I feel renewed. I even changed the name of my blog....simple math. Because that's all it really is. Simple Math, calories in, calories out. Get a handle on that and the prize is yours!!

I guess I need to catch up. Back in February, I hit an all time high of 361. I bought a bodybugg and was doing really well with it. It made sense to me. I already use fitday to tell me how many calories I am taking in and the bugg tells me how many calories I am burning. As long as I have a deficit every day, I will lose the weight. I did really well for many weeks, getting down to a low of 338 and then my husbands job changed and I caved back into my old ways, the my job changed and more stress eating. I am still down over 12 lbs and I am determined to turn things around!!! I did decent yesterday and today I have my bugg on and my fitday open.

I finally realized that strict diets and crazy programs were never going to work for me. I needed something that I could stick to day after day after day. Counting calories and the bodybugg really do that for me. If I have a treat and go 300 calories over, when I look at the number, I see that even though I went over my calories by 300, I still had a deficit, just 300 less than planned, so even with the treat, I still had a successful day. Once the all or nothing mentality was taken out of the equation, things really started to make sense and I realized that with these 2 tools I can do this!!

I decided to start blogging again, because I think for right now I need to talk about this a lot and this is a perfect place to do that!!!

So I am back, and I am doing this!!!!!
