Write it down!

It's been a little over 2 weeks since I started writing down everything that I eat.  You would think it would get easier over time, but the opposite has been true for me.  The first week, I had no trouble writing everything down.  As I got into the second week, I would forget, but then catch up.  And now, I feel like I have to force myself to do it.  But, I am still doing it.  I'm just hoping I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm also improving on my workouts again.  I'm not going to say that it's not a struggle too, because it is.  But I'm having a little easier time convincing myself to do it.  I go for a walk most days, and when I don't get out to walk, I try to make sure I run.  Ok, now I know you're all confused.  How am I running if I'm not going out for a walk.  I actually run in my living room.  I jog in place.  It all started because of the Wii Fit.  They have running workouts where you jog in place.  So I do that.  I actually count in my head and usually do sets of 100.  Last night I did a 150, a 100 and then a 200.

I try to do little extra things.  Like when I'm standing at the photocopier at work - I'll march in place.  Perfect time to sneak in some extra movement.  Washing my hands, march in place.  Just find those little times when your feet could be moving.  Are you going to lose huge amounts of weight just by walking in place - probably not, but it gets you moving and every little bit helps.
