I’m back in the green.
I have this spreadsheet that I use to track how well I’m eating. I have it broken down into columns for each meal, plus a treat. Green is good, red is bad. At the bottom I tally up the percentage of green days and that is green or red based on a threshold I set.
As of today I’ve gotten back over that threshold, despite a few days of holiday drinkin’ and eatin’.
FWIW, the two numbers on the left is the percentage of days I’ve been under the trend line for my weight and waist measurements. Those don’t get a threshold, since they’re basically out of my control. The one on the far right is workouts. I busted my ass enough earlier in the month to compensate for the days off resting my busted up knee.
I’m finally catching up on my RSS feeds and I came across, “The Printable CEO” (via 43 Folders), which is basically the same thing. I like his weighted point total. I plan on applying that idea to my spreadsheet, so I can get away from the black and white good/bad distinction of what I’ve been doing. The idea being that at some later date I’ll be able to improve even on perfect eating every day.
