Here they are. Just doing some of this should help me lose more weight. I did much better on the exercise front in 2007, so 2008 is all about incorporating the eating right.

• Track food eaten and calories. Always!!
  • I order a journal from Laura at Starling Fitness. I start on Jan 1, 2008! I’ll try and write a review.
• Drink more water
  • and less soda. I’m doing well so far at keeping away from the non-diet stuff (except the occasional Dr. Pepper)
• Eat fewer refined carbs
  • Eat more un-refined carbs, meaning whole grains and lots of fiber
• Eat more, but smaller meals
  • This really seems to help me not feel hungry and no low blood sugar meltdowns
• Eat a lot more vegetables
  • Find new ways to cook the ones I like
  • Explore more vegetables
• Eat more lean protein
• Eat less fat (I’m looking at you, butter!)
• Eat less sugar and sweets (that includes you, chocolate!)
  • also try not to eat fake sweeteners (This will be hard)
• Take daily multi-vitamins
• Eat more fruit. I have done fairly well with this is 2007. There are more fruits I like than vegetables
• Eat less processed stuff
• Cook more (also hard, involve the part I hate more… the cleaning up)
• Grow some food (may be difficult, I live in an apartment with no balcony, just a front area open to wandering neighbors and animals)
