I've been "laying the foundation" (mentally) in preparation of this latest weight loss effort. I've been trying to get my head in the right place - although it still seems miles from here - but at least I'm still working on what I consider to be my biggest stumbling block.
But I've also decided that I need to add some hard facts to this equation, like what exactly am I eating day-to-day. Oh yeah - that. So for the next few weeks I'm going to track the amount of calories I'm taking in just to finally face up to the fact that it's probably a whole lot more than I really need. I'm going to be as objective as possible about it too - I won't get caught up in the whole shame/berate/loathing mode. I just want to see what needs fixing in the food department.
Probably not such great timing (I am FAMOUS for my bad timing) as we're going on vacation Saturday for a week at the beach. I can't wait! We'll have our own kitchen so I'll be able to track most of the calories I'll be eating. Plus, I expect to do A LOT of walking on the beach - is there anything better?!
So that's the plan for now. I realize I need to keep it in front of me and be consistent if I'm going to be successful. Will report back soon.

Good luck, and bon voyage!
Sounds like a great plan, and you may find some easy fixes when you track everything.
Have a wonderful vacation!
Good solid planning is always a good idea! I think tracking your food is such a big part of understanding where your calories are coming from and where you can make improvements and adjustments! I hope you have a great vacation!
