Food Journaling Check-In #4

[ 13 ] 07/01/2010 |

Anyone else finding it difficult to keep up with the food journaling?  Anyone, anyone?

Talk to me folks.  Spill the beans- what did you eat and drink today?  Healthy?  Not healthy?  A little bit?  A lot?

I struggled yesterday with the journaling and even a bit today.  I have been super busy with kids and guests and playdates and swimdates and exercising and cooking and cleaning and going’effingnutsbecausemytoddlerhasn’tbeensleepingverywellatnightnorduringhisnapforfourdaysnowandreally, thatistheONLYtimeIhavetowritestuffdownandgetANYTHINGdone.  So yeah, it’s been hard keeping everyone happy and busy and rested, especially ME.

Regardless, I want to know how you are doing with your journaling, please.

    I have sucked at journaling the last few days. One of our friends sons died on Monday night and I couldn't tell if I ate let alone what I ate since then. Wait, we just had crab leg special after the wake. I promise I'll do better next week. It had to get bettter around here. At least I had a lovely walk at the Dunes yesterday to calm the soul.

    Even with tweetwhatyoueat I'm not getting everything in there. Sometimes I manage breakfast and get nothing else. Most days, like today, I didn't get anything logged. Today I did good though. Lots of fruit and water, a big salad for dinner with grilled chicken and NO JUNK FOOD. :)

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's son. The family will definitely be in my prayers. A walk along the dunes must have been lovely. I grew up near sand dunes and I miss them.

    I've done much better today. Was a bit panic'd when I realized I only had 300 calories left for dinner (damn that Mike's hard lemonade I drank after work). They say necessity is the mother of invention: dinner was a black bean veggie burger in a lettuce wrap with pico and a little lite sour cream, and corn on the cob and green beans from the farmer's market this morning. Dinner calories-250! Woot. I'm even pretty full. Did much better on the water today too. I've had at least 48 oz and I'm still drinking.

    I've done pretty well the last few days. Especially since I was angry about my weigh in yesterday (notice I didn't post – yeah). I had actually been journaling pretty well, so my gain pissed me off.
    Anyway.
    Still at it this week.

    i did well yesterday morning – bran flakes for breakfast, a peach for snack. lunch really did me in though. i had planned on having a boca burger and baked yellow squash. i had my burger but the squash was awful. i had to resort to vending machine food to get full.

    dinner was a PB & J sandwich, okra, and corn. (i was tired and lazy)
