Bring It On.

If you pay any attention at all to my ticker over yonder ============================================> (and I seriously doubt you do), you'll notice that it's no longer resting on 67 pounds lost. Nope. In the two weeks I've been working on "maintaining," I've managed to lose another three pounds.

I need to write a book on this Halloween Candy Diet, yo, cause I could make big bucks off of it.

I dunno if it's my body still trying to adjust or what. I've upped my calories. According to The Daily Plate, a person who is 147 pounds and maintains a moderate activity level needs to eat 2,403 calories a day to maintain. Do you know how many that is? Honestly? When you're used to eating HALF that everyday? I was using Sparkpeople to track my calories for a week or so (grew tired of that and, honestly, I was doing a decent job of it in my head) and not once did I go over 1900 calories. I suppose if nothing else, I'm building up a 'cushion' for my vacation. So even if I do gain three or four pounds, I'll still be back at where I was two weeks ago. Sounds good, right? Right.

I just don't want to end up being a Star Jones and people saying to themselves, "Damn, Brandi looked better before she lost all that weight. Skeletor." No thanks. (I realize I am weeeee-ayyyy far from being Skeletor, but. Ya know).

So, yeah, vacation? Bring those calories on! Mama is ready for her first In-and-Out burger and her first ever trip to a place with 'chicken' and 'waffles' both in the title. Brrrrring.It.On! ;)

Oh and just 'cause yesterday he was six months old, it's me and the KyKy Man:
And here we are six short months ago. Time really does fly!
