Knowing Is Have the Battle!

Knowledge truly is power!

I feel extremly confident that I will lose weight and keep it off! Ten weeks from Dec 2, 2010 I will be real close to 250lbs!

My secret weapon is in the pen just like Tyra's secret. I picked up a food and exercise journal from Kaiser's Pharmacy for $3.50 and I believe it is the best $3.50 I have ever spent!

Here is how I use the journal.

Step 1: I record every thing I eat in my journal!

Step 2: I record the calories of all the food I eat!

Step 3: I give myself a daily calorie allowance. Mine is 1500 cal

Step 4: I preplan menus of breakfast, lunch and dinner that fall within my calorie budget!

Step 5: I purchase only the foods on my pre planned meal.

Step 6: I eat only the foods on my plan and check them off as I eat them.

Step 7: I take a daily 30 min or longer walk when I can.

Knowing is half the battle. Knowing the calories in specific foods allows me to plan a meal plan that helps me stay within my daily caloric allowance! Know your calories!
