My Food Log

Here's a link to it: FlawlessWalrus's Food Log I hope I can keep it updated. I'll add the calorie counting eventually and notes like "worked out" or my weight and step count when I get a scale and pedometer. I'll also add a permanent link to the food log in the links section on the right.

New Diet Attempt

OK, here we go. Here are my rules for now. I may make them stricter if I feel I can manage or if I get on a roll. Mmm... roll. Stop! OK, here: - 2000 calories/day max (for starters) - No high fructose corn syrup - No hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (no trans fat) - Minimal saturated fat (vague, I know) - No foods with over 50% calories from fat (goodbye whole milk cheese) - No eating after 9:00 PM (drinking allowed) A lot of this depends on being able to read labels, which I've used as an excuse in the past. "No label? Doesn't count!" can't be an excuse anymore. Nutrition facts are available for lots of prepared foods, and can be at least a good estimate. I'll probably be most flexible with the 9:00 PM rule, because I just gotta eat dinner late sometimes. It's mostly designed to curb late-night refridgerator raiding. To do: - Exercise more at the new Dave's Gym - Develop excercise plan like this diet plan - Get a scale and weigh myself daily - Get a pedometer and go for 10,000 steps/day - Go for a few walks before it gets too cold - Start parking on the far side of the lot at work - Go shopping for myself again so I don't have to only eat what's available Let's see how this goes...

Whoa... meta.

FlawlessWalrus: A Change from Grippy to Megamerican I just went back and read this 7 months later. Wow. I can't believe how well I summed it up, despite the rambling. I need to write more.
