I have never been very good at dieting. A few years ago, my husband and I bought an exercise bike, and I was working out at least 5 days/week, up to 45 min at a time by the end. But it is so easy to skip a few days--I think we had company, and I wanted to spend my free time with our guests. Then it got so hot. Then I wasn't motivated to go back. I hadn't really been dieting at all, but I was so regular with the exercise that I felt a lot of benefits, improved weight & shape, lowered stress--until I stopped. Since then, I have just being slowly gaining again.
This idea of recording everything seems so simple and logical. I guess I've always felt that weight management should mostly be a matter of economics--if you take in more than you use, you gain weight, and if you take in less, you lose it. That may be slightly oversimplified, but it seems essentially correct.
I really am not sure how I'll do here, but my husband started counting his caloric intake and exercise, and seems to be pretty easily able to stay under his caloric limit. It seems worth a try, so I'm trying. I am more of a joiner than he is, plus I wanted to use some of the cool tools here, so here I am. Seeing some of the random journal entries that have popped up, and reading through a lot of the challenges, I doubt whether I am as committed to a goal as many here. A friend and I promised each other, in lieu of Christmas gifts, to have lunch together at a favorite restaurant, but haven't had a chance to go yet, partly because *she* was dieting. Now I am watching what I eat, but I still want to go. I am already planning to make an exception for that lunch, and just do the best I can for the rest of that day, and naturally I shall try to record what I eat. I hope that will do.
I am afraid of going too fast with this, and afraid that if I don't seem to get any results, I may throw my hands up and stop. I know I need to drink more water than I do, but have trouble remembering to increase my consumption. I am not sure exactly how much to aim for, since I read conflicting reports about drinking 64 oz., about the idea that most of the liquid we need comes from our food anyway, about how variations in size, weight and gender affect the needed water intake (but hard to find out how much!). Good luck to me, and to anyone who reads this.
