is now tracking

I have been tracking my calories for the last few days, trying to plot where and when I am going with my eating.  After day 2 I have nutted out at least some

.

Breakfast.  Its just not optional

Fat .... too much good fat is still fat

I need to add more vegies, more protein and a few more carbs.  Eating over and way under my calories isn't good.

And tracking isn't that hard.  I am enjoying it!

Ok ,,, challenge number one!

CARDIO CHALLENGE:

Duration: 5 weeks starting Tuesday 11 Jan
What to do: as much cardio as you can
How does it work: Allocate points per km done (run, swim, row, elliptical - 25 points, walk, cycle - 10 points) (as you can see, more points are allocated to more calorie-burning activities)
Points tally: post your total kms everyday and I will add those points on a tally sheet
Exceptions: walking around shopping doesn't count! (has to be a "planned walk", like walking the dog is ok). use mapmyrun.com to calculate your distances.
Cost: FREE
End: Winner and runner-up (prize TBA)


I hope to be able to walk/jog a 5km in March.  Wish me luck!  I am going to keep score here to keep it fair and to keep me accountable!

LOL

Yeah, didn't make the high school reunion either.

This years aim .... be healthy.  Yes, I want to loose a shedload of weight.  But I want to be healthy.  I don.'t feel healthy any more.

There is a 5km fun run in March.  I want to walk it.  Thats my aim!

Day 5

And under calories every day.  Its going well.

Working on the exercise, felt really bad today, so took the day off.  Feeling heaps better now, so will take a longer walk tomorrow!

Day One

Well food was good.  Still a bit hungry, but with sick children, not a lot of choices!

I am using Calorie King (calorieking.com.au) to track my eating and exercise.  A tad time consuming, but worth it.

I was over in water consumption but way under in calories, and need a tad more exercise.  Its all the tweaking.

Oh, and alcohol free.

A good day all up!

Well, I sucked at this obviously!

But, its a journey, and one that takes time. Am I thin in time? No. But am I finally ready. Shit yes!

Stay tuned!
