Over the last couple of days I have made an attempt to eat better. Basically, I've tried to cut the calories and eat more protein and less fat. I have been mostly successful. Not a lot of change so far but then again, it's only been a couple of days.
I have decided that I'm only going to weigh myself once a week. There's too much variability in daily weighing, and if I weight myself every day, then when I have a bad day it'll really get me down. It'll get me down even more if I have a good day and just don't see much of a change in my weight. So I think that spreading it out to a week will allow sufficient time between weighings to get a significant enough change. So there it is, every Monday morning I'll weigh myself first thing.
The next thing I need to consider is measurements. I think I'll measure myself monthly for the same reason that I'll weight myself weekly. I haven't decided yet which measurements to take but I'll get that worked out.
My sister just recommended a site to me called Sparkpeople. I went ahead and set up an account. It looks like that will help me track my progress as well as offer diet and exercise plans. I'll use it for a while and post what I think. One of my goals on Sparkpeople over the next two weeks is to keep a journal of my efforts. So here it is, I have committed again to keep this blog updated with my actions, plans, and progress.
