How Often Do You: Weigh yourself, Count Calories & Monitor Fluid In-take?

Let me start!  I weight myself about once a week.   I don't count calories.  I don't monitor fluid in-take.  About the only thing I am consistent about is avoiding "bad" carbs.

I weigh in once a week .

I do count calories because if I dont then a nibble here and nibble there can really add up and that is when we got into problems.  I count carbs, fats, sodium anything that My Fitness Pal tracks I count.    I dont worry about carbs when I eat fruits and veggies.  There are days I will eat over 100 in carbs due to my fruits and veggies

I dont monitor my fluid intake .  I drink enough so it's never a problem.  All I drink now is my cherry limeade water,  2 power zero's a week  during Zumba  and maybe once every two weeks I will have a Ice Tea.

I am currently monitoring all the above. I don't always do it since sometimes I don't need to. Right now I need it. I usually keep a running total in my head as to the fluids. I hate it when I get to 7pm and still need to drink a sizeable amount. I end up out of bed to pee multiple times a night. It is too easy for me to get busy in the morning and not drink anything outside of my wake up coffee (2-3 6oz. cups). I try to go back to weighing, measuring and keeping track of calories, and monitoring the protein every few weeks so I don't let things sneak up on me. If I am not keeping track I am more likely to over indulge. What ever it takes.

I weigh myself every morning. I log my food & liquid intake daily. It keeps me on track and gets me motivated.

 Weigh myself: once a week, if I can keep myself off the scale.

Count calories: never.

Monitor fluid intake: I have an app for that!

 I weigh myself twice a day, once before bed and once in the morning. I monitor every.single.thing that goes in my mouth, liquids, food and vitamins every single day. I also keep meticulous records of my exercise, heart rate and endurance levels.

You sound a lot like me. Other than the heart rate & endurance. I do keep an eye on my blood pressure which is usually really good. I am anal about keeping my food log.

 I don't always bother with the heart rate and endurance, but I am training for a half marathon and it makes it easier to know when my body is ready to kick it up a notch and go a little farther. When I can keep my pace with my heart rate staying low for my whole run, I know its time to push myself a bit.

I can see why you'd keep up with that lol. Marathon? That's awesome. But I do log my vitimins along with my foods& liquids...even the alcohol.

 I don't count calories.  I have a 54 oz glass that I fill every AM with water.  I weigh almost daily.
