Day 29 Weigh In #4

Good bye seven sticks of butter, hello eye brow wax.
How did you today? You should be tracking about a 6.4# loss. We're gearing up for Round 2 (Days 30-60), are you ready? Are you walking? Are you counting?
Interesting conversation I had with my sister, who had just picked up these snack bags of sliced apples:
Me: How many calories does one of those bags have?
She, shrugging: I don't know, I don't even bother worrying about those measly calories.
I checked the bag, 35 calories. Now, 35 calories surely doesn't seem like much to me either, but then I started thinking.
Thirty five uncounted calories per day over the course of one year is 3.65 pounds. After two years there's seven pounds of fat mysteriously hanging off your thighs. So, what's the big deal about a couple of Good 'n Plentys? Now you know.
Day 29 Calorie Count: 1315 and 45 minutes walking
Breakfast: 1 cup Sugar free Cafe Vienna (25), 6 bites Special K with Strawberries cereal w/1/4 cup skim milk (70)
Later: Starbuck's Vanilla Latte (220, no whipped cream), 1 Gala apple (50)

Snack: 94% Fat Free Kettle Corn Popcorn (100), Diet Pepsi
Later: 1 T. Duncan Hines frosting (75)
