I type out everything I'm going to eat and when for each week, and when/if/what I'm going to do for exercise. It kinda looks like:
Food: 1,200-1,800 calories
Water: 56 oz
Exercise 30-90 minutes/day
01: 4
02: 4 (Have lots of parties coming up this week. Can't believe I stuck to plan so well despite party #1)
03: 1 (went over the planned calories by having some doritos and dip and a 90 calorie fudge bar. Went maybe 400 calories over my plan, but was still at a defecit for my weight. Didn't drink as much water as I planned either, but DID get in a +4 mile hike with a friend!) (Party #2)
04: 1 (Got in a run on the treadmill. Didn't really drink much water, and definately went over on calories) (party #3)
05: 3 (negative on the H2O. party #4&5)
06: 4 (party #6)
07: 3 (didn't exercise)
08: 2 (poor eating)
09: 2 (poor eating)
10: 4
11: 3 (didn't exercise)
12: 2 (poor eating)
13: 4
14: 4 (party #7 but still TOTALLY stuck to plan)
15: 4
16: 4
17: 4
18: 3 (I only exercised 24 minutes instead of my minimum of 30, so I lost a point for that)
19: 4=60 points so far (I got home from work and had only drank 30oz, so I've been chugging water this evening)
20: 2 (ALMOST stayed within my alloted calories. party #8)
21: 0 (people just kept showing up at our house and I couldn't get my run it)
22: 3 (food poisoning from the day before helped me stay under my calorie limit, but didn't get my exercise in)
23: 4
24: 2 (negative on the water and didn't exercise....but got a TON of house work done)
25: 2 (ate good, that's about it)
26: 2 (camping. Ate good)
27: 1 (got a good walk in, but that's it. camping)
28: 1 (got another walk in, but didn't eat good or drink water. camping)=77 points so far
29: 4 (yay for being back on track!!)
30: 3 (didn't drink much water)
31: 0 (that's right....ending the month with a zero)
