Happy Hump Day! And Day 3 begins.
Funny, yesterday's eating was technically a failure. I weighed my food before I ate but recorded it into the diary after I ate. The result: my calories were 168 under but my carbs were 3 over goal.
And it all comes from presuming that each "half" of a sweet potato weighs the same. But since those 3 extra carbs were the result of yesterday's "half" of the sweet potato being larger than Monday's "half", I'm calling in at win. This technical stuff can get ridiculous!

Happy Hump Day Buffy..don't stress on the half of sweet potato..you probably burned those cals and carbs off by just worrying about it..LOL..Like Heather says..don't sweat the small stuff...I think there is a trend here for you to heed..Have a great day girl...:O)

When the difference is that small, it is time to not sweat the small stuff; your winning this war, accept it. :-)

You ARE a winner for many reasons, weighing & measuring...you are my hero, I need to do that.

GG - Thanks. For this Challenge I am weighing everything (whenever possible). But, if I exercised like you I could eat a whole sweet potato. Maybe some day!

hehehe you made me giggle because you are so right. I can't wait to get to a smaller weight so I can start micro managing.

Ha HA - even I m not that precise! I eat sweet potato almost daily but I am sure they change in size...thanks for the spinach suggestion! I have eaten spinach two days now and like it - especially in omelettes.

Give yourself a break Buffy- sounds like you are doing great!

HCB - You are welcome. Speaking of green veggies - I can't wait until zucchini season!

Newmooney - I'm taking the break and ignoring the 3 carb overage. BTW - hang in there. Spring really is coming!

Close enough for government work! It's good to keep a close watch on things like that, but you're right....sometimes we can all get a bit too technical! Here's to perfectly-formed sweet potatoes!

Sandy - So glad you understand - I have no intention of being that technical the rest of my life. My goal is to learn what reasonable servings are - without the help of a measuring cup or scale!
