i always thought that tracking came easily because i was list-driven person. and i think that's true. the act of tracking, while not always convenient, is not hard for me. i make a list of what i've eaten. i check off my good health guidelines. i make sure i'm getting things done. my lack of tracking, along with my lack of list-making, has been one of my more serious off-plan decisions, and probably the leading cause of why i've gained so much weight in the last month, 6 months. and why i've had trouble losing - because i'm not getting things done.

my stress level decreased ten-fold when i made my to-do list for my life. even though it's super long and has a lot of silly things on it, at least it's made. i know what needs to get done.

time to make my "list" for weight loss. as in setting a goal for our summer camp challenge. as in checking off my GHGs every day. as in writing down every single BLT that i take. lists make me feel like i'm in control. and control is the one thing i could really use right this instant.
