Importance of keeping records

In order to ascertain success in this contest it's important to keep records of your daily food and beverage intake. This can be done in one of two ways: 1) You can write everything down. Keep a little notebook handy or use your notes section on your smartphone. Record what you eat & drink, how much, and at what time of the day. OR 2) Use your smartphone and take a quick picture of everything you consume and label the pictures with the date and time; you can get more detailed if you would like. This little exercise will amaze you and keep you honest. Save your logs and pictures and send them to me for review. I will use them to isolate areas you can improve. Tracking your daily intake will also help us set specific dietary goals for you to hit along the way for the greatest positive change in your health and physique.
