I've been doing pretty well at tracking my foods in myfitnesspal.com, and I've made some progress. I've lost five pounds over the last two weeks, even without counting calories last weekend. I'm pretty glad with that. If I can keep my weight going steadily downward, that would be great.
So what have I learned since my last post? I can have a cheat day. I can even have a cheat weekend, if I want, as long as I don't go crazy. If I make it the new regular to track my calories, and not-tracking is odd, I think I'll see my weight continue to go down.
I am much more accountable for what I put in my mouth if I put it down on paper (so to speak) first. I know this. Everyone knows this. It's, like, elementary dieting. But it still surprises me how much of a difference it makes over a couple of weeks. Now, if I can commit myself to doing it long term, that would be just awesome.
It's easy to do when I'm at home, but it's harder when I'm on vacation, or out with friends, or whatever. But even if I don't track for a day or a meal, that's okay. I'm not perfect, try as I might. Dropping the ball gives me the chance to pick it up again.
Love,
Rachel
