knowledge is power

Good Morning! The last two days of being back in the groove have been fine! I walked around the lake both days (3 miles) and created a calorie deficit of 648 Thursday and 830 Friday. Today.....we'll see. I'll *just* be playing with my boys all day and doing the usual homemaking and errand things. I'm grateful for the calorie tracking and Bugg info. Using this info has really helped me become less of an emotional eater.
Example:
Before Bugg: Wow. I just pigged out on a huge breakfast. The day is ruined. And I can't even work out today because the kids are home. I'll just throw down the rest of the day and start again tomorrow. (Then proceeds to eat a ton of calories for the rest of the day and drags self around the house)
After Bugg: Wow. I just ate 800 calories for breakfast. I can't go to yoga or the gym because the kids are home. Today I'll still make progress, because I know I've still got 700 calories left to enjoy, and I can easily burn at least 2400 calories just by playing with the kids and keeping up with chores.

Knowledge is power.
