Happy and annoyed. I a took a vacation day today(So nice to get up when I want vs the stupid alarm clock.) Off to a great start. Did 2 miles on the treadmill today before breakfast(logged both exercise and food). After eating decided to take look at the past entries, compare it to my current so I could get a handle on where I am going or to see if I was just spinning my wheels.
Here are my observations((THANK YOU FS for storing this data)): In July, I logged foods only 16% of the time 5 days out of 31. My weight loss between July 1 and Aug 1 was nothing. I started both months @ 240 lbs.
So far in August, I have logged foods 72% of the time, 13 out of 18 days. My Average daily calories for the days logged was 1785. My loss since Aug 1 is 2.4lbs as of today. Seems like there is a very, very strong correlation logging and weight loss, at least for me.
So I am happy that I am getting better each and every day but annoyed that I can't jump in a time machine and tell myself that if I logged all my foods most of the time like I have been for so far this month, I could be closer to my goal.
Such is life, I will win. "By the Power of Grayskull! I HAVE THE POWER" Sorry, I had to let the adolescent out for a quick moment . I was quoting He-Man, the cartoon, for those of you who weren't 12-14 years old like me when that came on TV.
