Food Journals
Well, after these past few days, I'm starting a food journal tomorrow!
I'm not only going to list what I'm eating, but I'll be journalling how I feel the next day. I was very tired and fuzzy headed Sat. and Sun., but not this morning. I'm thinking it's because I'm not eating enuff starchy carbs -- I'm pretty much just eating oatmeal and the rest of my carbs are veggies. By journalling I can also start working on my macro ratio and my pre workouot meals.
I indulged way too much in bad stuff this weekend and I'm really afraid of falling off and gaining my weight back. But, I still have my workout to do tonight and I can start organizing my food tomorrow!! I have a goal, I'm going to achieve it and I know nutrition is the key.
Hi Ange..good idea girl I write everything down in Microsoft word..everyday for the past two years Not only food,but my workouts,if I am PMSing,water retention, if I feel dehydrated etc...Sometimes you think you drink enough water and when you look at your journal it will show you the truth,that you are not...

Re: Food Journals
I've tried keeping teack before and only did it a few days -- it's harder for me to journal in front of people then it is to eat clean in front of them. But, I believe that my problem last week was that I haven't been eating a lot of starchy carbs and I started to crave them and ate muffins and bread. Then, of course, that starts the spikes and it just went down hill from there. I was fuzzy headed Sat. and Sun. a.m. and I had a headache Sat. morning. Anyway, this is all a learning experience and I'm learning!! I felt better yesterday -- I had my oats in the morning and rice for my 3rd meal. I keep that up this week and start tweaking a bit as the weeks go on!!
