Started today! Was a little hard...had a conference to attend and the food happened to be a buffet (ugh...) but I did OK. Found a great online tool: www.myfitnesspal.com. Got signed up and input all my info. It's great...let's you journal your food intake and I didn't find one single food not on their vast database list of foods. Figures your calories for you and gives you a graphic of the nutrients you've consumed. Have to work on cutting the protein down a little bit but everything else turned out great. So far, I think I can do this! Counted my 40 minutes of walking all over the campus from my parking spot to the meeting site to the cafeteria as my exercise...especially since it was 103 degrees today. The website adds the number of calories you burn (you have to be honest about your effort level) to your total calories. I didn't take in quite all my calories today and the site definitely told me about it. Had a Visalus shake for breakfast and dinner. Those keep me satisfied and help curb my appetite I think. Or it's just my state of mind right now!
At any rate, off to a great start!
Laters, baby!
My journey to weight loss, getting in shape, and living a long, healthy life...
