So I wrote up and published my "diet"; if it can be called that. Just to note: do what it takes to keep on track, know yourself, and you'll get there.
I hear from many people that you should only weigh once a week -- and even more people suggest even greater gaps between weigh ins! I realize a body can fluctuate day to day, and I'm ok with that. I know this; and I also know to keep myself accountable I have to weigh myself daily. Period. End of story. Is it obsessive? Maybe. "Unhealthy?" Maybe. But I've learned that if I don't then I slowly become more and more lax in my eating habits to the point where I'll gain 5 or 6 lbs in a weekend!
Also, be honest with yourself. Today I was "in the gym" for my lifting routine about 45 minutes. Was I actually exerting myself for the full 45? Of course not! You have to rest between sets, sip some water, set up the equipment, etc...So don't record that time as a full 45 here to give yourself leeway to eat more! I think I logged 35 total between a light morning workout and my more intensive lunch one (25 of the 45 actually "lifting").
Bottom line: Do what it takes to hold yourself accountable. Picture how much better you'll look if that's your goal. Is that 2 minutes of Snickers really worth the setback? No.
