Something is missing from this great weight loss adventure of mine and it’s called a diet. I suck at diets. If I deprive myself of something, it makes me want it more. I’ve tried most diets I can think of and I just seem to suck at them.

So, what I’m trying to do is change things up a bit. I need to always eat breakfast and I will eat about 5 small meals/snacks a day. Hopefully spread things out a bit and increase my metabolism. I realize that in order to lose wieght I need to burn calories and fat. In order to do this I need to brun more than I take in. So, I don’t plan on really restricting my calories (except under 2k a day to start), but I will watch it. I plan on keeping a food journal. I’m thinking about adding it to this site actually. Doubt many people will want to read it but the whole world could see that I went to McDonald’s today! Talk about accountability.

So, this is where im starting. My immediate goal is to increase my activity level and burn more calories than I’m taking in. Once I’ve achieved that I will reevaluate!
