Walked into town this afternoon and felt really good... lighter and more flexible.... so I think this diet I'm on is working.  I'm trying to stay between 1200 and 1800 calories per day but I've gone below that a couple of days.  Not trying to, but it's hard to calculate calories; I'm just trying to make sure that I satisfy my appetite with healthy food.

I did eat a chocolate yesterday.  I'm not a person who eats a lot of candy so that was kind of surprising that I felt like eating chocolate.  I'm still drinking way too much wine but I find it kills my appetite, as do pickles and olives so I munch on them occasionally. But wine is taking up about 250 calories a day.  I'll work on cutting down.

It makes me wonder if I'm recording my meals correctly.  When I input my fitness information, I used more calories than I ate for the day.  Wait, that's probably how a person loses weight, right?  I thought there was something wrong with what I was doing but now I think not.

I'll have to try to do that more often.  Duh!
