Still at it!

Hello people. So I know it's been a few days since my last blog. I'm still alive and I'm still hard at it! I think my weight to date (WTD) is 210. I'm still eating my chicken salad sandwiches on wheat everyday, almost,  for lunch, along with the soup of my choice.  Yes, you can have a whole can of  Campbell's chunky soup, (most flavors) for under 300 calories for lunch. Not bad. It keeps me full all day until i get off work at 5. I also have snacks throughout the day. Right now i'm on peaches, yum! If you get the "no sugar added" kind, it's about 50 cals. Anytime you can get a snack for under 100 cals your doing good. Also rice krispies treat, yes the real ones are only 90cals. I hate diet food and there are many good foods out there low in cals that are "regualar" food.
Also, something i love is Wendy's Chili, (small with CHEESE!) is only about 285 cals plus i dont' feel like i'm depriving myself of what i like...i love me some Wendy's!
Now i'm going to let you in on my secret tool!!
LOSE IT! app for iphone/itouch LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
i use this everyday, many times a day, to track what i eat and my exercise.
If you can't get this, a regular old notebook will do & a calculator. I know this sounds really neurotic but it's very easy once you start.
TRACK ALL OF YOUR FOOD, EVEN A GRAPE!
AND TRACK YOUR EXERCISE.
This app lets you know how many cals you should eat per day & how many cals you burn for different exercises & it has a large data base to choose from.
Another trick i learned recently is Protein...it increases your metabolism and helps to burn fat...I try to get some sort of protein in every meal. Wendy's chili is loaded with protein :) other protein rich foods are:
EGGS
MILK
CHICKEN
CHEESE
YOGURT
PEANUT BUTTER
LEAN MEATS
GRAINS
BEANS
NUTS
FISH

Wow i'm writing a book here lol. I'm going to end with some websites that my friend, Ivy gave me that are very useful, I have not gone to all these yet ,but plan to....check 'em out!
