A couple of weeks ago I posted something about being overweight, feeling run down, etc. Well shortly afterwords I purchased my first ‘smart’ phone. I can now track my caloric intake + exercise on the phone and it syncs up to a website so I can view the detailed information.
I’ve done this for the past two weeks and it’s been eye opening. I was much more mindful of what I ate. The intake was lower than it would have been but it wasn’t balanced. My fat/carb/protein ratio is wonky. I am way high on carbs, high-ish on fat and abysmal on protein. This week my aim was to bring that more into balance.
Thus, the great experiment starts. If I can thoroughly track my intake and expenditure then, theoretically, I can track my results with low margin of error. Weight loss isn’t magic. Waving a wand doesn’t work, unless it’s a 20lb wand that I wave vigorously for 20 minutes. Don’t get me started on how insane the shake-weight looks!
