I started logging in my calorie-counting app yesterday. I'm using 1200 as my goal as that's what i used before in 2007 / 8 when i lost all that weight. Yesterday i went over by 150. I forgot how little food 1200 calories is. I have the rest of the day planned to come in under 1200.

I'm so enjoying herbal tea! I drink this fruity Zinger kind. It's so great! I think i like it even as much as i like Coke Zero and that's saying something.

Tara, congrats on your loose jeans! I remember that feeling! After one year of dieting i went on a hike with my support group and i kept having to pull my jeans up. Yes! I want that feeling again! And remember: one bad day does not ruin a whole week.
