a food journal to help me calculate everything: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/CoachJen71 (Note: if you are looking at today 8/30 that is _not_ my regular eating style. I had company for the holiday weekend.) I weigh and measure all my food, which is a HUGE part of my success, because I have a screwy sense of what a portion size should be.
And I have my fitbit tied into it so that it can show me how my movement during the day can offset what I eat: https://www.fitbit.com/user/2TQS4K When my numbers are in the red, I try to get enough exercise (even just pacing my house) until they are green again.
And the last part of my secret is I'm in a hypomanic cycle. I am a little worried about what will happen when I slide back into depression, but I am trying not to borrow trouble.
