Stop! It’s Calorie Time

It’s come to this.

Old chicks like me will get the reference. Suffice to say that while I’m pleased to feel satisfied with this way of eating, and while I’m not gaining weight, I don’t seem to be losing any, either.

(Deep breath.) It’s calorie time.

I use My Fitness Pal because it’s free, and I’ve been down this road before, but never with whole foods as the basis of my eating plan. It was always “well, I have three hundred calories for lunch, how about a few cookies?”

So we’ll see how I feel this time around. I’m being sensible about my calories: 1500. If I swerve either way from that number just a tad I’m not too concerned, but I’m concerned about my health, and I do feel the need to lose some weight sooner rather than later.

Wish me luck. And be sure to leave me a comment below. Do you believe in calorie counting? Yes/no?
