I know a while back we had weekly threads going for food journals, water journals and exercise journals. They really helped me, so I am going to try to start one up again. I have never been very good at true food diaries, so what I am going to try to do is just post how I did the past day. Please feel free to post how you are doing also, and change the format to whatever works best for you. It always helps me to stay accountable.

the weekend was not too bad, I walked 3 miles on Saturday but nothing yesterday. Diet was not too bad other than indulging in some potato chips. Well they are all gone and we aren't getting anymore!! I've been keeping up with my water, 2 bottles a day so I feel really good about that.
Nic -you are doing so great with your water!! I'm impressed

Tues 1/1
Food- Bad, went out with friends, and snacked way to much on bad stuff
Exercise- Took down Christmas tree and re-arranged living room

I really need to work on the snacking part. I thought that once the Christmas stuff was gone it would be easier, but I was wrong. I really need to work on getting back OP.
1/2/01
Food- Not horrible, still to much snakcing, I really need to try to stay strictly OP
Exercise- 30 minutes treadmill, 15 minutes toning ball
Water- 115 oz
Yesterday I ate okay, a little too much snacking in the evening but they were healthy snacks not junk food. Exercise was about the same as the day before and I drank 80 oz of water. Nic I am starting to catch up with you!
1/3/02
Food- Not to bad, I really have to work on the snacking after I get home from work, I either eat to much of the healthy snacks, or I just eat cookies.
Exercise- 40 minutes treadmill
Water- 128 oz
Did not have the greatest day yesterday, due to my stomach being sore all day. Walked for an hour in the mall, snacked too much (at least they were healthy snacks!) and drank only 48 oz water. Sigh! Today will be better.
