I sort of had a bad day today. As presents we got two boxes of sweets. Have not opened one, but the one that I did open got eatten. I finally gave most of it away. But, once I eat one cookie, then I want some other snack. The wave of desire builds. I get worse and worse. I saved myself by making a smoothie (carrot, wheat grass that I am growing in the back yard, 2 tomatoes) and a package of soybeans, some avacado and some german dark bread that I made the other day. Also, with a lot of walking and bike riding. We don't have a car.
I use a website to keep track of how many calories I am using. I am not very exact. If it is a low calorie veggie, I just don't count it unless I am eating a lot. I could the carbs, fats. The heavy stuff and research that pretty carefully.
Also, I use the iphone to figure out how far I biked and a pedometer to figure out how much I am walking per day. The application Runtastics seems pretty good. It stops measuring your movement when you stop moving. It has GPS so it can do that.
I feel that keeping track keeps me a little more honest. Also, I can use the exercise to subtract calories from my daily food intake. It also reminds me on my iphone if I forget to make an entry that day.
We bought a fairly acurate scale. Maybe that will help also.
