Killing Your Sacred Cows since 1992

I have all kinds of fears of documentation and counting, too. I have a long way to go before I kick the good food/bad food thinking, and way longer a way to go before I kick the good food day/bad food day thinking. A stint with one of those calorie-counting websites that added up your food and subtracted your activities almost sent me over the mental edge. The only way I keep track now is in a notebook, where I note the kind of exercise I did and how long I did it for. I've discovered some useful things, such as 20 minutes a day is better than 40 minutes for only three days a week. It still gives me reason to yell at myself, though, and I wish I could keep track without writing it down - or, I guess, I wish I could write it down without yelling at myself about what I didn't do.
