So I'm at it again... Trying to control what I put in my mouth!
This time I've enlisted the help of the Calorie Count website. I am able to for the most part input what I eat and it gives me total calories and nutritional information.
I have been ignoring the amount of sodium I consume because it is just too hard to control in most foods.
I have started making single sized dishes so I don't cook too much.
Unfortunately for me I am going home for the summer and leaving behind my rice cooker and slow cooker. I finally learned the best use of my slow cooker is to make tons and tons of shredded chicken.
I realized I just had to stuff the thing with chicken thighs (bone in most of the skin removed) half a cup of water, some spices (ginger garlic and pepper) and just let it cook down for 5 hrs (then I left it on warm for another 4 because I was sleepy) and the bones came out without any trouble it was awesome!
I've been thinking of ways to use it up in different casseroles and trying to add veggies to it so I'm not just eating meat and carbs.
over the past 3 weeks I've dropped around 10lbs which I know I should take as an achievement, but all I can see is I was so over weight to start with that 10lbs brings me back down to my old horribly over weight weight..
So for the top weight I want to be I have another 33lbs left to go which I'm not sure I can keep up over the summer.
But that's what the internet is for... letting me talk about my struggle in a semi anonymous way.
