Calorie Counting {Day3}

Calorie counting.

Hate it.  Ok, maybe that's a bit strong.  It just feels like a numbers game I'm not good at.  And yet it's simple addition.  Why does it feel unnatural and like such a chore?

But I'm doing it anyway and recognize why I need to.   My Fitness Pal makes it pretty easy but so much I just estimate and wonder how accurate I am.
I'm not sure what my calorie needs really are for a day.  Even though I'm busy with kids and house, I can't exercise much so I've assumed I'm "sedentary".  (I do a little resistance training and yoga.) I know deep down that losing is more about controlling what you put in your mouth than being able to burn off the calories, but am I sedentary or lightly active? Maybe I'll see in a week after I weigh in and see where I'm at on the scale.  Of course, then I'm off to Florida on vacation...Oh, well, there's always going to be something, right?
