I'm going to set my initial goal for 2,000 calories a day, with a 'treat day' every Wednesday where I can have a piece of cake or something. At one time I had completely weaned myself from sweets; Ill have to start all over and do this again.
I just looked up and saw an old tool in my my weight reduction battle--my Richard Simmons Food Mover. Say what you will about the man himself, this was a handy tool to keep up with food exchanges. There are these little windows with shades, you see, and you shut the shades for every food exchange you complete. Food exchanges, by the way, are used in the Diabetic Exchange program, which I'm familiar, having taken a course back when I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes.
So with the Food Mover, you decide your target calories from a series of available cards, and insert one into the unit. Then after each meal, you close the windows. When all the windows are closed--you're done for the day.
With the Food Mover and a notebook--and my own compulsive nature--I'm ready to go for this leg of the trip.
