You're eating that??

So, I'm counting calories.

And not because I think I'm fat. I'm not one of those girls. I like my muscles and I'm grateful that that my body works and I pretty much eat whatever I want in moderation. Actually, I find it very annoying when people (females mostly) don't eat. I think it's unfortunate that so may women have one body type which is beautiful and go to unhealthy extremes to try to look like air brushed models. With that said, I think you should be healthy and exercise and consume more fruit than Diet Coke on any given day.

So back to my calories.

I've never actually paid attention to how many calories are in food. I thought it would be interesting to keep track. So I am. It has only been two days, but man is it enlightening! Did you know that an apple has 74 calories?

Yesterday I had a big bowl of chocolate ice cream with some chopped up almonds and coconut, that kind of skewed my numbers with that, but overall it's just a hundred calories here and there. I still eat what I was planning on eating I just keep track of the number adding up.

They say simply counting calories makes you more healthy. It makes you more aware of what you are eating.

We shall see...

How many calories do you suppose crab sushi has...?
