keeping track

The other thing I've been thinking about is how to record progress. I can weigh myself, and I will, but I think once a week is enough time to obsess about the number stuff. I like the morning, before shower, after voiding. No clothing, tile floor. And even though my scale does those 1/2 pound things (186.5!!) I don't like tracking 1/2 pounds. So the question is, do I round up or down????

Saturday mornings sound good to me, especially because this is Friday night, so I can start tomorrow with the whole recording thing.

The I need to record the amount of exercise I do. And if I don't start losing, the amount of calories I eat. PAIN IN THE BUTTON. But I guess I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help me make the positive weight loss/be healthy changes that I need to make.

And I will try to EAT breakfast everyday (and not just a soy latte!)

Honesty seems to be a part of this whole trip. Honest to myself and in some remote way, to another person...who I hope will interject words now and then to encourage or kick butt as needed.

I'd like to reduce my risk of bad outcomes in my long term health as well as in my success at trying to improve it. I know that at times I like to eat for emotional reasons that have nothing to do with hunger, and I need to make those times go away. Or channel them into something more productive.

I have always hated that losing weight required so much effort, but that need not stop me know. I will make the necessary changes in my life to accomplish my goal. 50b450450!!!! Rah!
