I'm nearing the end of a week where I've been tracking my caloric intake and expenditure using Lose It!, and RunKeeper. What I'm finding is that the most important thing is being aware of what I'm doing. What I'm eating, how much I'm exercising. It's a powerful thing.

As long as I'm entering everything I eat, and all of my exercise, I become more aware of my daily activities, and that alone is a powerful thing.

I wasn't perfect this week...I snacked more than I should have, and I've indulged in a nightly martini on a regular basis. But overall, my behavior has been a lot healthier this week, and I'm hoping I can keep that up.

If you're an iPhone user, and want to friend me on LoseIt.com, or become part of my "street team" on Runkeeper.com, I'd love to have you join me!
