Food Diary, Day 3

This is hard.  I don't like looking at what I ate.  Maybe that will be a powerful motivator to eat better.  That's what this food diary was all about, anyway.

Friday, July 20th
Breakfast - 2 cups of coffee with honey and almond milk (Still no creamer in the house.  It's time for grocery shopping, seriously.), 2 pieces of cinnamon raisin toast

Lunch - 1 can Progresso chicken and rice soup

Dinner - 1 spicy bratwurst on a bun, with mustard.  Sides: baked beans, a pickle, and homemade cole slaw, then finished with a 1/12th pan brownie (they need to run out soon!!)

Snack - 6 gingersnap cookies,  because I had a tummyache

Water Intake - 8 cups, MET MY DAILY GOAL!!  Woo-hoo!
Did I exercise today? - NO

Food Diary, Day 2

Day two.

I must say, the thought of having to write down what I ate served as a bit of a deterrent yesterday.  I don't know for certain that I would have eaten more, but I know that I didn't want to have to write down and SEE that I ate more.  We'll just have to wait and see how today goes.

I am having lunch with my sweetheart today.  I don't know what my options will be, but I will try to be good.  I want my husband to not be able to look away from my ever-shrinking bottom.  ;)
 

Thursday, July 19th
Breakfast - 2 cups of coffee with 4 tsp. total powdered creamer, scant 1/2 cup oatmeal with dried cherries

Lunch -Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich meal with small fries and Powerade, with one honey mustard packet

Dinner - Cajun Tex.  John and I shared fish tacos and Cajun Jerk hot wings.  I had one large fish taco with black beans and salsa, 2 wings, and about 6-7 (mostly stolen) french fries.  I came home and had a brownie, about 1/12th of the pan.  Still a small serving, but I will look on the box to see how many calories it was and be sure to run it off tomorrow.

Snack(s) - A handful of edamame pods

Water Intake - About 4 cups.  Not good.
Did I exercise today? - NO.

Food Diary, Day 1

Well, it looks like all of my followers have dropped off, except for my sweetie (hi, John!), and maybe a friend who gets email updates.  I am okay with that.

I want to try documenting what I eat by keeping a food diary.  I am terrible about keeping commitments, but still... I will try, for one week, to write down everything that I consume that contains calories.  I think it would be good to track weight, water intake, and exercise, as well, but that sounds a bit overwhelming right now.

So.

Breakfast - 2 cups of coffee with 2 creamer singles, 1/2 cup coffee with a bit of honey and almond milk (ran out of creamer), one fried egg with a bit of olive oil, two pieces of 7-grain toast, 1 tsp. strawberry preserves, and 2 tsp. of my husband's habanero tomatillo salsa

Dinner - 2 slices sausage & onion and 1 slice chicken & spinach pizza with no cheese, medium salad with vinaigrette dressing, and a brownie (1/16th of a full pan)

Snack(s) - 1/4 cup edamame with sea salt
