MONTH 1, DAY 7 - 1200

I checked out for a couple of days. Came down with a cold and did absolutely nothing. Still don't feel great, but have to return to life sometime. So far it hasn't been too bad. I did make one slight modification and changed my target from under 1200 calories to at 1200 calories which creates a range from 1150 to 1250.
I did eat some fast food this weekend but still managed to stay within my range.
DAILY TIP:
One thing you might notice is that all my fruits, meats, etc. are listed in ounces. I never quite know what's exactly meant by 1 medium apple, or a piece of meat the size of my palm. I find it much more accurate to weigh stuff. I mean, it's silly to me to count the number of grapes I eat. It's easier to weight out a bunch and go from there.
I do have a very good digital food scale. I would recommend this to anyone no matter what kind of plan you're following. They can be found at WalMart, Target, and lots of other home stores. They have a wide price range but I would recommend one that has a tare or zero out function (that way you don't have to weight out your bowl and subtract). I would also definately recommend digital since they're much easier to read.
