So like most years, one of my 'resolutions' is to try to have more discipline in eating right and exercising - the two big E's. Not by any means two of my favorite things as I LOVE food and I LOATHE exercise.
Still, I know it's something I need to do. I've noticed this slow weight gain that has happened to me over time. Mostly I realized it because I have a closet full of things that don't fit anymore.
Now please don't anyone panic. I'm not looking to be skinny minny, anorexic girl. I just want to shape up and start living more healthfully. (And I'm a little scared to be revealing this to all of you, for I fear this makes me have to be accountable for my words!!!!)
Anyway, I found these two very helpful websites to help keep me on track. On the first one you can input your daily progress, such as everything you eat and all your daily activity. And it will show you how many calories you've used and how many you have left. It's called myfitnesspal.com -- you can link right to it from here.
The next cool site is called hungrygirl.com, they show you lots of cool low fat recipes and substitutions for lots of your fave foods. Even yummy lower fat versions of your favorite Starbucks drinks. And, you can subscribe to their newsletter and get daily emails from them about new items/recipes. It's pretty cool. And the best part is, Hungry Girl is just like me, she LOVES food!
So if anyone else out there would like to join my quest for daily discipline, please let me know. I'd love to have some accountability/encouragement partners!

It just sneaks up on you, doesn't it? Now that I am homeschooling I spend way too much time sitting at a desk - so I'm trying to get out more for exercise too - the hardest part is getting going!
I like the website someone mentioned on your EBC post
dottisweightlosszone.com
She's got tons of restaurants info. on there :)
