Okay, you got me, I'm going to start using it, too. I think it will help.
I honestly think part of my problem may be that I did not consume ENOUGH calories during my Ironman training, and my body held on to everything for dear life, thinking we really NEEDED that stupid fat around my middle.Eating 2000-2400 calories a day was really difficult for me, especially working out in the morning and then going straight to work. I have eaten a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but some days I just waited for lunch. I am getting better about that.
Part of the challenge for me is going to be eating consistently. As much as I hate eating on the clock, maybe that's what it'll take. I imagine what I'm doing is letting my blood sugar drop, starving myself, then eating a large meal, which is dumb. I do tend to eat smaller dinners, which is at least the right direction, but there is this big gap between lunch and dinner. I usually fill it with fruit and a cheese stick, but that sometimes just goes into the "bucket" and doesn't change how I feel. I probably need to be eating actual dinner at that time. :P
Anyway, long-winded... hopefully food journaling will help.
