This is my life right now:
- Counting calories
- Counting every penny spent
- Counting pounds lost
- Counting miles ridden
I’m counting calories again, because my eating habits got out of control. It is enlightening to see how much you really eat. It’s also helpful to know that if you eat it, you’ve got to count it, no cheating. I ate 1685 calories yesterday, and 1595 today.
I’m counting money spent, everything, even small cash purchases. Like my eating, my spending is a little out of control. Forcing myself to see where it all goes should help. I just started this today. I won’t be putting numbers about this on the blog though.
The daily weigh-in needs to be daily. I’m trying to get back to doing that everyday again. I was pleasantly surprised with my weight tonight. I weighed in at 256.8 lbs. That is the lowest since I started. I realize it’s just a fluctuation, but I’m going to do my best to keep it there, or below.
My bike has had an odometer since June 17th (two weeks now), and I’ve put 148.7 miles on it. I’m tracking the mileage on a weekly basis, but I don’t yet have any plans to post that here. I didn’t ride today. My legs needed the rest after yesterdays hellish headwind on the way home
I do sometimes feel like I’m spending more time counting things than doing them, but If that’s what I have to do to get my life in order, then it’s worth it.
