1. Track the nutritional content of everything you put in your mouth including total calories, fat calories, sugar calories, fiber. This should bring my awareness way up of what's going in the shoot pretty quickly. I'm using Covert Bailey's Target Diet System... not really a diet at all, but a food evaluation system, which is perfect for my needs.
2. EXERCISE! Notice my battle is against FAT and not my weight. This is an important distinction. You see, it isn't all the elements of my body that make me FAT, it's just my FAT... case in point: want to lose a quick 20 lbs? Just cut off your head... get the picture? So since FAT goes away by being used as fuel in my muscles, my focus on Exercise is just that - MUSCLE. I've been walking to get some aerobic exercise, but not on a level service... I'm walking outside up and down hills, which causes you leg muscles to work harder. I'm also doing wind sprints (as much as I can) while walking - this will cause my muscles to tire more quickly, which should cause the building of more muscle cells, which will help me burn more fat in the future.
So that's the beginning of my plan... let's see where this takes me. Tomorrow morning is my first weekly weigh in... we'll see how my plan has worked this first week.
Stay tuned!

Hi Kristin,
Unable to tell whether my earlier comment was posted. I'm Covert Bailey's friend, former business associate (he retired about ten years ago). Was fun to discover your site as I was working on some adjustments to our web site. Showed your diet tracking sheet to Covert and his wife and (other) co-author, Lea Bishop. Big smiles here. We send you congratulaitons. If you send me your snail mail address (ronda@rondagates.com) i'll send you a complimentary Smart Eating Target poster. Stay the course. Ronda
