I do believe in keeping it as simple as possible. While I've made a lot of healthy changes to our eating habits, I was still completely ignorant of how many calories I was taking in, or even should be taking in. MyFitnessPal has been an excellent tool to keep me aware of that.
BrerGnat, I totally agree on taking a day off from the tracking! I haven't consistently been tracking, more like a few days on, a couple off. I tried the crunches you described and I could feel it right in my lower belly. Does that sound like I was doing it right? That's another stumbling block for me, am I doing the strength/core exercises properly. Anyone know a good one for the back of the upper arms?
So, keeping it simple, definitely yes! But, I want to make sure I'm making educated choices. :thumbsup:
