So, as I am into day 2 I am realizing that I am going to have a rough time with logging all my food, exercise, etc... I got out of the habit a while back when I recognized that I was way too invested in logging and decided to stop and try to be more intuitive about eating, etc. I haven't done a great job of intuitive eating, etc, but I am concerned that the constant logging will take up so much time that I will neglect other things. Hmmm, something to consider.

Sign in to CommentI am pretty religious about logging, and weighting what I eat (I think that is SUPER key). I use my fitness pal, and I get into a routine where I eat the same things over and over so it keeps those stored, making it easier. If you're going to do intuitive eating, I would suggest getting a scale so you are sticking to portion sizes. That apple could be 3 servings of fruit if it is large enough! Good luck!
How do you log? Most people swear by phone apps, but I find it much less time consuming to use a notebook and pencil! I weigh and measure, check to see what serving sizes are on packages and just write it down. Sometimes if a serving is say, 100g, but I only weigh out 78g then I just calculate it real quick on the calculator...or ask hubby...he's like Rainman w/ numbers, lol. If I don't log I tend to underestimate and eat too much. Play around and find something that works for you =)
