I'm trying to watch what I eat. Although, I haven't been doing so good the past several days. Even though I told myself last Wednesday that I was going to cut out sodas and Heath Bars and Starbucks and all that, I really haven't. I even had Starbucks this morning.

At one point, I was really good about using the Food Journal section of Fitness Journal to record what I eat so that I could keep track of my calorie intake (mainly). But, after reading an article online, I realized I was going about it all wrong. Instead of record what I had already eaten, I should have been planning what I was going to eat. I started using the Food Journal and I am still recording what I have already eaten, but this time I'm doing it to set a sorta base line to know what I normally eat in a day. Then, once I have some guidelines, I'll start planning what I am going to eat in advance.

I stepped onto the scale the other day and I now weigh 264 pounds. This is the heaviest I have ever been. So, no more sodas. No more Starbucks. No more Heath bars. No more chips. No more ice cream. No more going home, changing into pajamas and sitting on the couch watching TV or playing video games. More walking, less TV.

I haven't been keeping track of this stuff. But, then again, I really haven't been putting much effort into getting in shape either.
