Desperate Times Call For....Chocolate

I realized my target date for having to still be at 144 pounds was wrong in my tracking app.

Hey, about that app, I'm liking it but am getting a Fitbit (it'll be delivered the day Joshie and I return from Chicago) and will try their app once it comes. But for now I'm using My Net Diary. Create a free account and you can track on your device and computer and it syncs. It's very user friendly and I recommend it if you're looking for an app.

So, where was I? Oh, yeah, I realized the target date for my goal weight was a year out and I need to be as close to possible to 144 pounds when I go back to the plastic surgeon on Decemeber 5th. Of this year. Which means that target calorie count I can't effin get to just got higher.

So I've taken a step to increase my calorie intake in a way that doesn't require me to be hungry, which I'm often not. And it is mindful of my diabties.
I'm adding one of these a day:


And it's chocolate. Which is my most very favorite thing...besides books.

Now the struggle bit, you knew it was coming right? Ok so I settled on this one after struggling to pick from the ones available, this one, a larger one with 180 calories but it's made for those trying to lose weight so is made to help with hunger, clearly not my issues, and another with 190 calories called a nutrition shake but the stats were so minor in comparison and it was hard enough getting myself ok with adding this. So baby steps, chocolate baby steps which helped, and 140 calories it is.

And I just had one with my lunch. It was actually very tasty. One a day, I can do this. Chocolate makes everything better, it's a life truth I've long since embraced.

PS what did I have for lunch? A carefully measured egg beater (1/2 cup), fat free cheddar slice, and tablespoon of bacon bits omelette. Adding the bacon bits AND the cheese was a step too, I usually do  one or the other.
