Dieting!!

I decided to download a calorie counter for my phone and diet more appropriately.  This sort of app has worked well for both CJ and I in Connecticut.  It's a pretty typical app; you pop in your weight, your target weight, when you'd like to weigh tthat much, food you eat every day, your exercise and water you drink.  The application tells you how many calories you can eat to reach your target weight goal at the specified time and adds more "to eat" calories when you exercise.  Well, day 4 now and I'm seriously munchie, not hungry, just munchie.  It's a good thing I don't have any cookies around or I'd be nibbling.  As is, I'm gettin butter thawed to make cookies!  Usually, if I make the goodie, I don't eat as much of it.  And, if I still want cookies hours from now, I'm okay with eating a couple of them.  All ready I've noticed I have to move more.  This is not thrilling for me.  I'd like to walk outside but small ones and coldness make that not so fun.  The elliptical is nice as long as Ari isn't crawling into it.  I do get in 15-20 minutes of strength training and some light exercise here and there but, more is needed.  I also learned how terrible Papa John's cinnapie is for you!
