The Last &*$&! 10 Pounds!

Like everyone else I know, I've been trying to lose those last 10 pounds for a very long time. A person who was very critical of me would suggest I mean those last 15 pounds, and Spencer Pratt of The Hills would say those last 100 pounds. (quick side note - if you're so inclined, The Hills starts up again tonight. Not sure if I can stomach it.) 

I do all the crap you're supposed to do to lose weight, including keeping a food diary, though I have to admit it's been a little sketchy lately. It's boring to write every mouthful down every day! A couple of weeks ago, though, I found a really helpful website. It's www.livestrong.com. Across the top tool bar there's something called The Daily Plate, and it's great site for keepinjg track of your calories and exercise. One of the things I've discovered since I started using it is that going out and eating two pieces of garlic bread, a salad, a piece of pizza and two glasses of wine may not be ideal for reaching those weight goals. Who knew?
