Another day, another unattractive total
Like I said, honest if nothing else. I also estimate a bit high when unsure; I try to be as accurate as possible, though. My Fitness Pal says 1,993 calories for Friday, June 7th.

Not zapping anything lately
This entry is for Thursday, June 6th. My Fitness Pal says: 2,352 calories. Can you unscramble the code words:
P Z A I Z U T H or...
Z I A Z P H T U or....
A Z Z P I T U H
One of those should make it apparent what added about 800 calories onto what would have otherwise been an OK day.

Checking in for yet another day. This is Wednesday's (yesterday's, June 5th) data
My Fitness Pal says: 1,536 calories for June 5th.
I will not be defeated; I'm continuing this through the month of June. The goal will be to see: "6 pounds lost" or greater, in the widget to the right.

Did you think I wasn't coming back?
My Fitness Pal says 1,741 calories today.
Well, I'm back. I was doing well today until I came inside from exercising and thought all of my muscles were going to turn into mush. I think I had run out of calories 1/2 hour prior. So I ate enough to feed a small horse.
I have never mentioned it on this blog, but I exercise most days for a good hour outdoors, walking, and I mean hiking hard up hills in our neighborhood (and down them, too - I didn't want to imply that it's all uphill. That would only be possible if the starting and ending point were not one and the same.)
Not looking forward to weighing in on Wednesday because I think the horse-feed style dinners are going to be reflected in the poundage.

Taking the long view
My Fitness Pal says: 1,542 calories for today.
I'm nothing if not honest, so I documented every calorie for every morsel, every day for the last month-plus. And I'm going to keep on going indefinitely, although the pictorial aspect got old. I don't mind typing things into My Fitness Pal, though. Here is the report since I started the challenge:
Yesterday was the highest calorie count so far, and the lowest was when I was sick with a nasty cold and simply didn't feel like eating much.

I'm here, and let's talk about a mistake
OOPS: My Fitness Pal says: 2,715 calories for today. "If every day were like today... You'd weigh 159.7 lbs in 5 weeks."
I'm still in this until Wednesday, but I'm not sure the scale will show any more than the four pounds already displayed on the My Fitness Pal widget. Let me depict something purchased from Panera this morning that seemed innocent enough:
This is a bacon and spinach breakfast souffle. It isn't as big as it looks in the photo. I guess it's bigger than a hockey puck, but not by much. So I didn't know that it was 570 calories until now. I knew it wasn't a "lite" selection. Now let's talk about how starving I was after driving around town in 90-degree heat for a few hours and how I ate not one, but two of these. So there's an instant 1,140 calories to start the day, and I went on and ate some other stuff too. OOPS
