Ok, I started this
(this, meaning the journey of getting healthy in the real world) saying I
feel Claustrophobic when having to track all of my food. And that no matter what I was NOT going to do
it.
However, I am forced
to let the numbers speak for themselves (putting my college degree to
work!). It has been 5 weeks, I have
worked out more, I have planned my food & still I have only lost 6 pounds. Now, I am not dismissing this success, it is
great! I am just feeling that with the
amount of work I have put into this I should be seeing more results.
So my hypothesis is
that I need to track my food. I must be
eating more that I think. (I know I have
been snacking more than I should!).
The only way I can
think to watch my food is to track it.
I tried it my way, it didn't work. Since I am committed to getting healthy, I will admit my strategies may need some improvement.
So for one work week
(Monday through Friday) I am going to track all of my food in my Fitbit
app. Just 5 days. I can anything for 5 days right?
I figure there is
little downside to this strategy. (other
than the pain in the ass to enter all my food).
I will learn
something & have more data to help me see why I am not getting the results
I want.
I will give myself a break from tracking on the weekend & then I will decide if I should track it again next week.
