Speaking of journaling your food intake....there's a site that I use (
www.fitday.com ) where you can log food intake by item, manage your fat/fiber/vitamin intake, and also track the number of times you work out weekly.
I've been using it for 2 years, and it's made me SOOO much more aware of what I put into my body.
One of the things I love are the "reporting" tabs where you can track whether you've reached your RDA of vitamins for the day/week, the report where you find out on average how many calories you burn a day, and the report where you track how much fat your diet contains.
The program is free and worth its weight in gold IMHO.
My specific goals this year:
1. Become healthier
-- Lose at least 15 lbs, preferably 20
-- Lessen my daily fat intake to less than 30% (taregt 25%)
-- Work out a minimum of 4 days/week (I've been averaging 3)
-- Target 1900 calories/day (I've been averaging 2050)
2. Find a better job
-- Send out one resume per day, with a well-researched cover letter...5 days a week
-- Conduct follow up on all call backs
-- Become more active with Career Services at school, and join the Marketing Club
3. Find a hobby
-- Research if there are inexpensive dancing clubs, or places where you can learn either salsa or ball room dance
-- Investigate if there is some form of martial arts (NOT T'ai Chi) that I can do with my arthritis
-- Research good bike routes near home
