Tracking

People, people, people. I can not stress enough the importance of tracking!!! Now, I'm not talking about the mental tracking that some of us (ok..me) do sometimes. I'm talking about the actual writing down (or typing down if you use Etools) of ALL the foods you eat.



I know this. You'd think as long as I've been doing WW that I would do this. But, alas, I didn't this week. Nor did I do it very well last week either. This was proven on the scale both weeks. Yes, I gained AGAIN. Now, instead of being at my goal of 30 pounds lost, I'm still not there and now have to lose 3 pounds to get to my goal instead of the one pound. So, what I'm trying to say is that the "mental math" doesn't work for me. I really don't know what happened. I started the week out with my determination at such a high level then.....who knows. I was journaling everything, I was making sure I was following the good health guidelines, I was watching portion sizes. Has anyone else had this happen?





Oh well. The only thing I can do now is start this new week with a positive mind frame. Nothing good ever comes out of beating yourself up about things.



So, in closing. TRACK EVERYTHING. Like Cindy says..."IF YOU BITE IT, YOU WRITE IT!!!"
