Food Journal Tuesday, December 16th
General December 16th, 2008Well, maybe it’s not related, but yesterday I decided not to keep the food journal on the blog, and yesterday I grazed all day. I didn’t really have a meal all day, just ate different things (mainly veggies & dip and fruit, but still…). So I’m thinking I’m better off with sticking with this approach, as it worked last week, and I’ll adjust over the vacation as necessary. Thanks for the comments saying the food journal wasn’t all that boring, it was the last little encouragement I need (and I too like reading others’ food journals, but they are boring to write & for me don’t really take the place of the other entries I like to make).
Goals for today :
- Leave something leftover at each meal
- Eat at least 7 servings fruit & veg
- Keep the food journal
- Eat very reasonably during the day, and make good choices at dinner
Breakfast:
- Tea w milk
- Banana oatmeal
Lunch :
- (PLANNED)
- Leftover braised cabbage
- pineapple
- veggies w dip
Afternoon snack :
- (Planned) fruit
Dinner :
- Going out to a fancy restaurant if I get most of what I need to do today done… not guaranteed
Cooking plans for the day :
- Not cooking, but cleaning out the fridge before vacation. I have a bunch of stuff I need to toss or throw in the freezer
How did I do?
- Renoncement (leaving something leftover) :
- Fruit & veggie count :
- Water : 1
- Herbal tea :

I love reading other people’s meals, because it give me ideas. I sympathize, though, that it’s boring to write. I sometimes do, and sometimes don’t. There’s a “food accountability” at 3fc, there’s my paper tracker (which I keep with me so I don’t “forget” to count something), and there’s WW online. Do you track online? That keeps one from forgetting to jot down the six cashews, and makes me check labels to see what that particular cereal really is, and oh! a serving is 1/2 cup and not 1 cup.
I love your journal, even though I have to work hard not to be jealous that you actually get to live and work in Paris!
