Suddenly a post.

So I've never posted on this blog before, but recently my darling sent me a link to an interesting article on CNN here.

Part of his success, besides taking a pragmatic approach to losing weight, was recording his experiences on his blog. It helps to keep yourself accountable to other people other than yourself, cause you can always fool yourself.

I tried to keep a photo diary of what I was eating but invariably I'd forget, and once I've eaten it was gone. Writing about it however would work for as long as I remember to actually blog about it! So Tyler (the guy who wrote that blog) has some really really simple steps.

  1. Calculate your daily calorie intake
  2. Substract calories
  3. Burn calories
I do 3. a fair amount but I have terrible self-control when it comes to food. So I'm hoping this 'accounting' of my food intake will go some way to helping that.

My daily calorie intake should be 3,620, based on the tool he blogged about. So I'm gonna try and aim for 2500. So let's see how I go, starting with breakfast tomorrow *looks at the time* or should I say later?
