My goal is to eat better. Not to lose weight, necessarily, but to provide my body with the right fuel. If I lose a few pounds, that will be an added bonus.

One way I am going to attempt this is through a food diary. I think I do some things right, like getting enough fruits & vegetables, but I am pretty sure I do not consume enough lean protein. Writing things down will let me see the real picture!

I have tried keeping a food diary before, but my resolve fizzled out after about a week.

Dan,

Great insights! Like that huge part of the population, I am also making fitness a goal for 2007. However, I don't call them "resolutions" any more, as that tends to be linked with failure!

My plan to achieve these goals is simple:

1) Set exact weight loss plans for the end of January and February, not just say "I'm going to lose weight."

2) Start using the Diet Master software that will track what I eat and the calories involved.

3) Do weights 3 times a week and aerobics 2 times a week.

4) THINK about what I eat and only eat ONE, not two servings. Very important in restaurants because they tend to serve much more than a serving.

5) Track all of the above.

It sounds simple so let's see how it works!

What does everyone else think?

Thank you,
Ron
