What's in YOUR mouth?
Mar 30, 2009
OK so today I had to write in my work journal and it occured to me that I need to keep a food journal. I read somewhere that keeping tabs on what you eat by writing it down helps you consume like 30% less callories vs. not writing it down. So I started today and OMG it makes me LOOK at what I eat. I mean all there in green and white. My friend looked and then wrote her stuff down and WOW we were amazed at WHAT we eat and how much and how it looks in the BIG picture. For example I will drink my shake then a couple hours later I eat a yogurt. THen I eat my lunch and a couple hours later I have a snack, etc. So hour by hour I am thinking that I ate HOURS ago but when it's all written down I realize that no matter the time span I still consume a lot of calories. So starting today I am going to keep this food journal and LOOK at what I eat. I am going to post what I eat here and in a few weeks I will update to see if it actually does help me consume fewer calories.Monday March, 30 2009
8am~ EAS protien shake
10:30am~ yoplait light yogurt
1pm~ Lean cuisine french bread pizza
4pm~ 2 serving spoons chili beans (my mom's and you just can't pass them up...)
7:30 pm~ chicken breast and about a cup of cooked rice (white...ACKKK)
8pm~ 2 large glasses of high calorie high sugar mojito stuff.
OK so I soooo could have cut out the chili beans or had the chili beans and not eaten the chicken and I definitely need to stop having drinks. I can also quit eating the 10am snack because I KNOW I need a 3-4pm snack otherwise I over eat at dinner. ANYWAYS this is a day in my food life and I see that I need to improve in some areas and get used to eating different. This surgery is just HELP, not a brain transplant. I may have screwed up today but tomorrow is a new day...YAY ME!!
