Food Diary

September 5, 2008

I am coming to a close on week one of my food diary at everydayhealth.com. I have lost 1lb and have actually been enjoying being aware of what goes into my body. I am the type of person that tends to believe a bite of something yummy here or there won’t hurt anything. And for the most part, that is true. However, I was living by a different philosophy. I was taking about 20 bites here or there, which really add up. Now, anytime I am tempted just to pop something in my mouth without thinking, I remind myself that I will have to write it down and that just seems like too much hassle. So I have probably cut 200-300 calories out of my day just by not doing that. What is even better is that I have had a good friend join me in this endeavor. Now, we can hold each other accountable from 250 miles away. It is very similiar to MySpace, except maybe a bit more revealing. She can read everything I do and eat because I tagged her as my friend. Crazy. She can read over my daily intake and wonder why I can’t seem to stop eating brownies (they call out to me, I swear!) and I can read over hers and wonder why she hasn’t worked out all week (Get those running shoes on and go for it sister! You can do it!). We even have the same end weight goal, which is awesome! It will be really fun to see one another’s progress. So, I am really enjoying my food diary.
