It took FOREVER

bill_schubertMy slicing equipment got here. I don't have any bread to slice but figure I'll fix that in a day or so. It is a great concept well executed. I ordered it at 9:15 and got it at 15:15. Six hours. Not much longer than it would have taken me to make the bread.
Which I'm not eating much of at the moment. Yesterday, I weighed in about 2 pounds over the maximum I will allow myself. It is just water and has gone down a couple of pounds today but I thought I'd take the opportunity to shoot for my real goal which is 13 pounds less than I was yesterday. It is way less than the WW 10% so it should be doable. But I plateaued at 210 and never went much below that. So we'll see what happens now.
I've never gotten any good with My Fitness Pal and Noom removes their most useful tools when you don't pay. So I'm testing Lose It. I just really need a good calorie counter with a solid database that is easy for me to use. If it integrates Google Fit, then fine. Lose It does that. And gets all kind of points for already having my Dinnerly meal from last night in its database so I just cut and pasted it and voila! it was there. I haven't checked today's meal yet. But I will go back to what I was doing on Noom. I eat breakfast and enter it into the counter. Then I enter what is on the Dinnerly menu for the evening. The result is what I can consume during the day. Makes life so much easier. We'll do that tomorrow. And throw in a bike ride.

I just realized yesterday, mine has narrower slice slots on one side, and thicker ones on the other, so I can choose the thickness of the bread. Even if I don't use the slicer like i'm supposed to, using only one of the bamboo guide grooves and inching the bread up as I cut, that's still a big improvement over how I was slicing on my own. I blame being left-handed but I know other lefties who manage it better than me :p
Hope that Lose It works well for you! I haven't heard of that one.
It is my hope and dream that someone will make a better calorie counter than MFP. The database is just such a mess and so difficult to navigate, there has got to be a better way but I haven't found anything else yet.

It looks really user-friendly but I wish there wasn't a paywall for so much of the functionality.
