I have never been one for fad diets because I hate the idea of depriving myself of anything. The thought of having to give up chocolate for life so I can lose five pounds is depressing and makes me want to go eat chocolate. Any time I have lost weight in the past it has been through the amazing diet of eating healthy and exercising. Crazy!! I know, I should probably write a book about it.
Knowing this has worked for me many times in the past gives me hope, but sadly it doesn't give me motivation. I have no desire to get up at 5am every morning so I can go to the gym and my evenings are taken up with an hour walk with Hendrix and friends or relaxing. These are things I am not willing to give up for the gym. So what is a girl to do? Well, the solution has come to me via the interwebs (that thing is so amazing). After talking to a co-worker I've jumped on a bandwagon I didn't even know existed. It's called myfooddiary.com and it's heading to Weight Loss Town. Population: Kelly.
It's super simple. You create your log-in and are able to get started right away. No waiting around for a confirmation e-mail or any of that BS. How it works is simple too. You just enter in everything you eat each day and the amount of exercise you do. They have an amazing food database with 50,000 foods or you can add your own. You can even create a fridge where you can store the foods you eat most often. The exercise bit is just as easy. There's a list of 700 exercises - including some things you would never even consider exercise. Example: birdwatching. Huh? You put in all this info and presto it gives you a report for each day telling you where you've done well and where you haven't done so well. There's even cute little smiley and frown faces. How encouraging is that?! We'll have to wait and see (pun intended).
