Counting Calories

After four months of counting calories each day,  my intake of calories during that four month period (March, April, May, June) was 1930/day which I was hoping would be lower (closer to 1500) but it was still below 2000 which makes me happy and over the course of those four months, I have lost 10 pounds or roughly 2.5 pounds per month.

I will continue with my daily ritual of counting calories which in turn forces me to watch what I eat but not so much when I eat it...  still, something is better than nothing. 

It would be nice to reduce my weight to 205 which is the weight at which I felt the best but that would mean losing another 35 pound over a period of 14 months...  and, I suppose that is possible but highly unlikely given my age and lack of daily physical exercise...  Even if there was exercise, losing weight is a function of how much you eat and not how much you exercise.

Also in this process, I discovered that I was not eating enough protein or vegetables but the other 3 groups:  grain, dairy, and fruit, I was pretty much satisfying with what I ate...  and if anything that I needed to cut back on grains.
