Weight Loss Plans

I've been feeling really great about all the exercise I've been doing and eating all the veggies that I do...but I also feel like I've been over-eating on occasion. Like last night I made lasagna (not that that is really part of my diet rules but we had the stuff and it sounded good...and broccoli is perfect with it) and I had two huge pieces. And the other night I made sliders out of ground turkey on whole wheat rolls -they were super good- and I ate too many of those as well. So I'm going to continue eating tons of veggies and only whole wheat products as well as exercising at least 30 minutes a day, but I've also discovered a new helpful tool! It's called fitwatch.com and it's FREE to use. You can track all the food you eat, they help you figure out how many calories you should be eating (based on your basal metabolic rate and the amount of exercise you typically do) to help you lose weight. They also track your body fat percentage and you make short term and long term goals about how much fat and weight you want to lose. I really like that I can record all the food that I eat and that it keeps track of the calories I've eaten. I think this tool will really help me be more aware of what I put in my mouth and help me know if I'm staying on track with my weight loss goals! Yay for the internet!
