cichlid's "get healthy" journal

[cichlid]

Starting weight was 134 lb. I want to return to somewhere between 120 lb and 115 lb. I have a small frame and I looked good between those two weights. Anyway... this is my "get healthy" journal so that I can track my food consumption and my exercise routine.

 

Past weigh-ins:

August 8: 130.2

August 12: 129.3

August 13: 128.9

August 14: 127.8

August 15: 128.2

August 17: 128.6

August 18: 128.0

August 20: 128.8

August 21: 128.0

August 22: 128.0

 

Food issues:

Everyone has that something that they love eating. I love eating chicken ramen. I don't drink the broth but I love eating the noodles. My goal this month is to stop eating this completely.

 

Exercise issues:

I have a hard time staying focused on my exercise routine. It's difficult but I am hoping that by keeping this journal I can stay focused.
