Back To Basics

Here we go again...  I'm afraid that I'm coming across as a broken record right now.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to blog about something that I've been saying for several weeks now.  But, since we're all in this together, here goes...  I need to get back to basics, again.  I've got to do something to get my eating under control.

The thing is, I'm not eating horribly.  I'm still just not eating to lose weight.  I'm pretty sure the problem is a lack of keeping a food journal.  Why is that so important?  Frankly, I have no idea.  But, I know that it is.  For the last several months, I've tried to just keep a mental idea of what I'm eating.  To quote Dr. Phil, "How's that workin' for ya'?"  Well, clearly it isn't!  So, it's back to basics.  I'm going back to keeping track of everything I'm eating, keeping track of the calories I burn working out and tracking my weight every day to see my progress.

I've done this all before, as I'm sure many of you have.  So, why will this time be different?  I don't know that it will, but I'm hopeful.  I have to remain hopeful, otherwise I'm bound to just give up.  Giving up isn't an option because I'll be damned if I gain back everything I've lost to this point!  So, as much as I really don't want to do it, I'm back to basics.  Back to what I know will work.  Back to being vigilant about my eating.  Here's hoping it pays off!
