I've decided to try using the food diary again to make me more aware of what I'm putting into my mouth every day...
Heather introduced me to this extremely user-friendly website that helps you set up and track goals.
And finally, my newest adventure is this website stickK that allows you to set up commitment contracts with yourself (weight loss, procrastination, exercise, you name it) and then set up penalties if you do not progress toward that goal each week. For example, let's pretend your goal is to exercise more. You can create a contract with yourself saying that you must exercise 5 times a week or else you will have to donate money (you specify the amount) to a charity that you strongly oppose. There's some motivation for you. For those of you who may be tempted to give yourself a little extra padding and fluff the numbers on the day that you record your results, the website encourages you to invite someone to referee your commitment. You can set up your account so that a friend or family member must log in and verify that you did indeed meet the goal for the week. Pretty cool, huh?
One more thing...not sure how long this will last, but I found a link to a website that is having a holiday sale, offering year-long subscriptions to popular magazines for only $5. It's pretty sweet...I've subscribed to 2 of them already. You can click here to browse the selection.
