Well, here goes my first dose of daily accountability.
Today started off ok for me-I ate breakfast, which is always a challenge!!
Here goes my food diary starting from there:
Breakfast:
1 0z. marble cheese
1 mixed berry Nutrigrain Bar
1 banana
Lunch:
2 wholewheat dinner buns
leftover turkey from New Years
lettuce
Supper:
2 frozen fish fillets (battered-not good I know)
8 french fries (also not good I know)
Snack:
bag of Ketchup potato chips (my husband snuck them in to the house and I sniffed them out-try to keep this stuff out of here!)
2 litres of water
1 diet coke
This is the thing with me-I start the day off really well, with excellent intentions, and by the end of the day I am tying into those potato chips(or just anything I can put my hands on!). I have been reading that it is good to eat 6 small meals a day, and to try to eat some protein with the carbs to help feel full, so I have to concentrate on doing this better. I always seem to lose it when I get home from the work at the end of the day. I use food to reward myself if I have had a good day, and to make myself feel better if I have had a bad one. Any ideas how I can get out of this rut? What can I replace the food with?
Tomorrow I am going to try journalling when I get home and maybe that will help.
I guess to be truly accountable I will need to tell you my goals.
For this week, they are to:
1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
2. Exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 days this week (small steps!)
3. Eat breakfast.
4. Eat more balanced meals ie. protein w/carbs, more vegetables and fruit.
I will probably change my goals from week to week. 2 out of 4 for today. Tomorrow is a new day though!
How's everyone else doing? What are you all doing for exercise?
Please feel free to criticize what I eat-I need all the help I can get.
ACCOUNTABILITY is what I desire here!
Talk to ya on Thursday! Have a great day!
