New beginnings, new habits, part one.

air_n_darknessFirst week back tracking my food through Livestrong and getting back to doing regular exercising. I have my caloric intake set for a 2lb per week loss, not taking into account my exercise. This means that when i burn say 400 calories on the bike, I get to eat those extra 400 calories and still have net calories that fall within my calorie goals.
This method is working out well. It keeps me from being hungry- well for the most part. I have got to figure out ways better work lunches. I'm starving by the time I get home in the evenings. I'm not making the best food choices, but right now, I'm trying to re-learn portion size and control, not totally rehab my eating. I'll be making changes gradually as I progress.
Starting weight was 246.8. I lost 2.8 pounds this week, and I call that staying on target.
Below is the food, exercise, and calories I tracked this past week. Livestrong actually breaks down all the nutritional info, too (fats, sugars, carbs, etc), but I don't have teh space to put the whole file here.

Date: 2010-01-18 04:51 pm (UTC)Honestly, the main reason I can keep up as well as I can is that I can track as soon as I eat in most cases. I've got internet access at work when on my breaks. Trying to remember it all at night/next day, just didn't work for me. I found myself "cheating."
