I had an epiphany this morning while going to the car to get my curlers. I am in Langley, BC for this week watching my son's @NORCECA volleyball tournament, so I am out of my normal element and getting another perspective on life.
That has nothing to do with my epiphany which is that I am going to write a blog of everything I eat just because such a habit will make me aware of what I eat. I've tried food journals before but never really kept them up for any length of time because as soon as I ate something I perceived as "bad" or "not on my diet" I would simply quit writing. How simple is that! I could do that now except that I am not going to. This is different. Its public and I am starting it on a Wednesday at noon because I have already forgotten what I ate this morning.
My daughter just reminded me of what I ate this morning-- at least what she saw me eat.
So this is it based on her and my memory.
Breakfast: fat free Greek yogurt with honey and a banana, two pieces of whole grain toast with butter, two eggs fried in butter (bad girl!), an apple I ate on the way to the car to get my curlers, and 3 or 4 gin gins.
If you must eat excessively, do it in the morning!
I think it is a great idea Ruth! You should look up www.myfitnesspal.com it keeps you accountable too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany. I need all the accountability I can get.
