Killing Time

March 29, 2008 · 3 Comments

I’m sitting in Starbucks near the Laser Tag place where Cory is at a birthday party.  This is not the part of town I usually frequent and just upon cursory observation, it appears that I may be the only patron at this Starbucks who is not sporting a tatoo. 

I would like to rave about my latest favorite website:  http://caloriecount.about.com  Not only does it allow me to keep a daily food log and activity log, it also keeps track of the nutritional content of what I eat, will display a pie chart of where my calories have come from that day, and it will give me a grade!  A grade!  Now this is a tool I can sink my teeth into.  I totally want an “A” every day.  For the day today I am sitting on a B but the day is young.  I have the chance to make up for this latte later.

This morning I told a friend I had given up sugar.  She said “AGAIN?!”  Yeah, again.  And if I look the month I was sugar free last year, I call that an accomplishment.  She scoffed at me and said I didn’t need to lose weight.  It’s not about that.  It’s about stewardship and management.  It’s all a matter of perspective, I guess.
