Dietary tracking
Jan 24, 2010
One thing that I realized (again) is that in order for me to be successful & achieve my goal of:losing weight -reducing the % of body fat - achieving better overall being health
I have to do the key components in conjunction with each other.
I have found that, in the past, i tend to focus on 1 key element & neglect the other: ie: i'll diet, but i wont exercise or take my vits.
So i finally figured out that if i want to be successful & achieve my goal this year - Ive got to do all 3 at the same time CONSISTENTLY.
I love http://www.theDailyPlate.com! Its allows me to track my food intake, log what ever exercise or activity, & keep a journal of how im feeling that day.
By tracking, Ive managed to drastically reduce my caloric intake over the course of 2 weeks. But Im still not feeling balanced. I note that my fat & carbs intake are still high & protein is still too low. I had 1 day this week where my protein went over 100g
Ive started taking my vits & mins again. Its not so bad w/ the liquid forms that I got. Plus my water intake has increased since i have to drink water when taking them.
For me, working out consistently is the hardest component to implement. I know i work out - but i do so sporadically. like a weekend worrier. So, I'm still not working out everyday like i think i should be & I know i need to change that. But i seriously lack the motivation to do so. I ALWAYS come up w/ excuses of why i cant or why im not going to go for a walk etc.
Right now - thats my biggest hurdle.
Im down 6 lbs since i re-started my journey & i feel ... okay... w/ that. Its a start :)
