like a kick in the butt....

i found a pretty cool website for those out there in diet/exercise land. its called the daily plate.

it tracks your calorie goals for the day, water consumption, adds up your daily totals, tracks your food choices...offers up better choices, calculates calories and activity. i started using it yesterday, and so far it's pretty neat.

i'm bad at the calculations part of healthy eating, so i'm hoping this might help.

i'm also trying to give up chocolate for a while. the only time i'll allow it is when it's in ice cream. and i've already proven i dont need ice cream as often as i thought i did. so hopefully the consumption will stay down across the board.

if anyone does go try it, i'd be interested to hear what you think.

According to them, my BMI is 29.99, which is as overweight as I can get before I am obese, by definition.

Wonder if they're trying to make me feel better by saying 29.99 instead of 30.0. ;)

I might just use that site, as it seems like it has enough free options to be useful.

I think I'm going to try it out (I haven't looked at it yet though) since I need the same assistance. I don't want to be Tracky McTrackPants, but I like the idea of having recommendations for different things.

I'm just not happy about the last few months, as usual, at the end of the Season I feel like shite. I just don't have time for anything but shitty food, and we're in the middle of a family health crisis (LJ to come) that has me again rethinking the amount of effort I need to put in, as in more.

Oddly, I'm trying to eat MORE chocolate. I think I'm going to start keeping stashes of good dark chocolate around. And make sure I have that Stoneyfield farm chocolate yogurt in the fridge. It's to kill the Ben & Jerry's cravings, because having a pint of THAT is way worse than having three or so small pieces of chocolate, or a serving of yogurt. The good thing with the super rich dark is that you can only HAVE a few pieces, and it's so overwhelming you don't want any more. (at least I don't your servings may vary *grins*)

I dunno I'm just totally against denying oneself EVERYTHING, it's more moderation and portion control. Which is so my downfall, I loves me a nice full plate (full of steak *LOL*)

My week sucks. I miss you, and will be in touch as soon as things calm down. I have a Ranger incoming as well, which is totally going to eff up my game. More later. *hugz*

well, you can adjust serving sizes, so if you want to have cheesecake, you can put in how much of a serving size. there are definitely tons of cool features to explore.

i miss you too!!!
i'm saving a personal day so i can go out clubbing with you somewhere on a school night.

[tiamatlady]

yeah - except I don't have any personal days to go out clubbing. *sighs* I was going to take off more than one day next week but it put me in a difficult position. Although I DO have sick days......*snerk*

I hate this whole "grown up" thing. Plus I'm so tired and my sleep schedule is off, like a dress on prom night. I'm forcing myself to go home right after my client and get into bed, I have to try and sleep early.

less than a week. Unfortunately I have stuff _I'VE_ been putting off that is now due as well. ACK!

[dredpiratebunny.livejournal.com]

you can do it!

and when youre done, i'm coming over and we are going to ebay to hearts contenta all the crap we've been putting off so you can go across the ocean with some cash.
so there.
nyahh!
