ok, i've had enough of the vacation bulge

so...

instead of loosing ANY pounds with you all...i went the other way by being stressed out about moving, moving, going on vacation, and generally eating out every meal.  this summer i have added nearly five pounds, and none of my clothes are fitting me!!  i ALWAYS feel hungry, i eat poorly, and don't do any exercising...well i did go running with the kids the one time and that didn't turn out so great.  (forgot to stretch, jogged for just over a mile, and then felt the after effects for like four days!)  so now i am getting depressed about it...which i'm sure helps with the weight gain... =P

i found a free online calorie counter/exercise tracker that has been somewhat helpful.  i told it what my goals were and then it tells me what i should be doing to reach those goals.  i filled out everything i ate yesterday and recorded that i went on a 30 min walk with caleb, and it told me that if i did exactly what i did yesterday, every day, i would be five pounds heavier in five weeks!  GREAT! 

i'm going to try to stick with this, mostly because it has been very eye opening.  i thought i would post the link to the web page if any of you want to join me on there.  mj
