And for TWO MONTHS I worked my second job faithfully. And lost over 20 pounds.
But then I went to campmeeting.... no time nor expediency for counting calories.
Then when I came back, I had work to catch up on at my first job...which involves overtime. That not only took the time I would sit here and search for calories, it also meant I did not have time to go shopping for the "right" foods to eat.
Also something came up in the family that required more of my "second job" time.
So, I've not been counting my calories.
I did get the gain off that I had during campmeeting... and I am maintaining that. So I'm not discouraged.
But, I don't foresee that in the near future I'm going to have any more time as we are having a revival coming up and I may continue to work overtime until then.
Hopefully from around the third week of October until the Thanksgiving I can jump back on the wagon and get a few more pounds off.
As I see it, the way I am going to be able to proceed with my weight loss is to make out some menus for myself to follow (precounted menus) so that I don't have to sit here and search out calorie counts.
I pretty much eat the same things in rotation anyway so it shouldn't be hard to come up with some Breakfasts, Lunches, Suppers, and Before Bed Snacks that keep me in the range of calories I want to be in.
And I need to find some stuff to keep on hand so that when I get the "munchies," I have some low calorie munchers. Like rice cakes. Or 94% fat free popcorn. Or celery and carrot sticks.
