Weight management

I just wanted to update my weight management progress. I don't own a scale that works so I don't know what my weight is but I've been doing fairly well falling under my calorie limit for the day.

Here's what I'm doing: I can have 1500 calories a day and that can be supplemented by activity calories and flex calories. The activity calories are based on what my pedometer says I've burned for the day and the flex calories are 1500 extra calories that renew each week that I can use however and whenever I want.

This has been working except when I see that I have a lot of extra unused calories at the end of the day, I am tempted to have a high calorie item just to "use them up". I thinking about banking them somehow so I will be encouraged to save them instead.

I don't know exactly how I'm going to do this yet but I'm thinking about reducing the number of weekly flex calories and letting my unused calories flow into that bank. We'll see how it goes.
