help losing weight

on the livestrong web site there's a section called the daily plate that tracks your caloric intake and your weight. i know it seems really time consuming to enter all the data but it helps me be accountable for what i eat. it also helps me to become more disciplined and i figure training for a triathlon is about discipline. discipline to train, to take care of your gear, to eat correctly. it's a skill that's learned in little steps and tracking my food intake on a daily basis is one of those little steps.
