I hate logging my food and
exercise. It’s time
consuming. It’s boring. It’s repetitive. And that is just the paper kind of
logging. The available software
seems to be worse unless I eat the exact same thing all the time (Apparently,
most people eat about 100 foods. I
haven’t yet tried to figure out my 100.).
But.
I know when I do stop and write
down what I am eating and what kind of exercise I am getting it helps. Some of the help comes in the form of a
well-known effect: I won’t eat the
27 cookies if I know I have to write it down. I will do the workout when I don’t want to because I don’t
want a blank space on my chart (I don’t really believe in the Great Gradebook
in the Sky, and yet I act like I do…).
Wriggling away from the truth
does not count as exercise. Let’s
write it all down.
