In reading comments or blogs,

Take what applies to me right now and leave the rest behind.

Pick out the little simple things to change.

Write down the structure I need simply the day before.

Knowing that the little changes automatically adjust as I do this daily.

If I check in, curiousity or synchronosity or life will compel me to continue ...

...my quest for balancing life's demands with nutrition, exercise and living life's challenges

Track more nutrients - EFFORTLESSLY

On your nutrition tracker page, there's a link near the top to "change nutrition goals". Clicking that link takes you to a page where you can add any of dozens of nutrients for your nutrition tracker to calculate. Examples are calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, glucose, sucrose. The additional nutrients show in the chart at the bottom of your nutrition tracker page and help you watch your daily intake.

MORE INFORMATION:
Knowing something about psychology, I know it's important to get correct proportions of sodium, potassium, and calcium for proper brain function - and body. I started tracking those nutrients and am amazed at how out of proportion my intake was. Eye-opening! At least knowledge is power!

Utilizing the tracker

Use the Nutrition tracker to track the food that you eat.

MORE INFORMATION:
Even if you only use it for a week it really helps you realize where your problem foods come in. You'd be surprised that the most calories could be coming from a food that you eat regularly because you think its relativly healthy. And it will tell you where you have room to improve.
