Food Journal
« Monday and Tuesday Training | Main | End Of Week Training Update »
I have been having a difficult time losing weight in the base period. I am trying to get down into the low 150s by race day and right now I am sitting around 157. Which is about the same weight I was two months ago. That is a problem. One that is easy to identify the root cause: I am eating too many calories. I need to start being more selective of what I eat if I am going to make my goal weight.
How am I going to do it? I have decided that I need to keep a food journal. A food journal does two things for me. First, it makes me think twice before I put food in my mouth. Do I really want to write down a cookie in the journal? Secondly, it allows me to see what I am eating and make decisions on where to cut back.
Normally, I would just keep track of what I eat during the day, but I think I am going to try a different strategy. I am going try the food journal suggestion from an article I read recently on http://triathlon.competitor.com. I'll let you know how it goes.
