I follow rules instead. I do break them occasionally. Here are my rules: 1. Track all food. 2. Drink 80 oz of water or more daily. 3. Eliminate all junk food. 4. Eat within an 8 hour time frame (10am-6pm) 5. Walk everyday. Current step goal: 12,000 steps or more. 6. Exercise for a minimum of 60 minutes a day. 7. Weights 5 days a week, 15 min. 8.
