I couldn’t figure out why it hasn’t been going the way it did my first time round until I finally looked back through my CK Manager program. It’s really quite simple: I’ve been eating back too many calories, focusing more on my net calories than I did before. I also forgot that the last time I pretty much gave up one of my problem foods, bread.

So this week I’ll do things differently.

For one thing I’m going to forget about the cockamamie Silver whatever-it-is particularly the requirement that I hit their calorie target. The software says I can go as low as 800 net calories to lose 8 pounds/month but of course the online program won’t let me set my target below 1000 no matter how many calories I actually eat.

I've never understood why there are so many inconsistencies between the two versions of the program.

Meanwhile we’re having a couple of days of real Indian Summer weather and I’m going to make the most it.
