If I do want to reach my goal weight the same week as Tough Mudder, I gots some work to do this next week!
I’m so close, yet so far.
The iPhone app I use to keep track of my weight is called “Lose It.” When I originally started to lose weight (see the first negative slope) I did use the app religiously, recording both my calorie intake and exercise. But then you know how it goes next – became obsessive about putting in all of the data into the app, being mad at myself if I had chocolate pudding that put me 120 calories over my daily budget, that sort of thing.
But that sucks. No one wants to do that. (At least I don’t!) So now I just use it to simply record my weight.
The second negative slope started when I began eating clean and running at the end of January 2012. It will be nice to eventually reach that goal line and then plateau out. 🙂
Last night before book club I munched on a healthy dinner that used up the last of the tzatziki sauce. I’m definitely going to buy some more the next time I’m near Trader Joe’s!
I made some vegan chocolate chip oatmeal “scones” to bring a dish to share at book club last night, based off this recipe.
Did you notice I finally got a cooling rack?!

We got the final Tough Mudder map – my friend Mal pointed out we won’t get to do the fire-walking! Booo.
TTYL, I need to memorize this shit…
Do you ever get weight loss iPhone app obsessive? Or very into recording the food you eat? I used to, but realized it’s not worth the pressure to stress. Just eating mindfully usually helps!
