food tracking

It's proven if you food journal and accurately track your food (meaning full disclosure, no lying about that handful of m&m's you ate), you will lose weight. So I'm back on the tracking bandwagon.It's not that I'm not happy with my weight. I'm actually content where I am, but I'm at the upper end of "healthy" weight so I'd like to see if it would be possible to knock off a few more. I've been able to up my activity and hopefully combining that with this tracking, that just may happen.

Let me just say... tracking is hard. Its hard to be honest. This isn't homework so the only person you cheat is yourself by lying.  Its hard to scrutinize every bite I take, but I'm on this journey, one I hope produces some good results. The site I use recommends 1200-1550 calories per day. 1200? That is just not realistic, but the upper end is definitely do-able with willpower. We'll see how this goes again...
