Feelings: I found an app on my phone called Lose it and I am trying to us it to track my food, I have done it for 2 days and I really like it. I was shocked at the carb count it was close to 200 could that be right, I know I should never go over 100 maximum. So not sure what to change on here to make a difference of 100 carbs, I now I have lots in the chili but I though it would be healthy, meat, beans and tomato - that is pretty much it. It seems funny as soon as I want to cut back I start to eat more. I just think today I will stick to more shakes and salad for veggies. I think I will pass on the chili, til I get an ok from you Gina about if it is good for us? I really want to make some chances this week, but it is much harder then I thought. I am stuck in a rut.

Homemade chili really is good for us. I found I could reduce the carbs quite a bit by not putting kidney beans in mine and reducing the serving to a kiddy bowl. 

Doh!!  Office treats happened to me and I know I won't even get diarrhea as a result!!   And I was silly enough to have them in the morning, so I was bloated all day... thankfully that's now OK.  Well tomorrow's a new day at least!!
