I thought it would be a good thing to get a Food Journal going again. It really helps to maintain focus and commitment, at least for me it does.

Anyone who would care to join us here is very welcome. All encouragement and support is very much appreciated.

Back to post in a minute. G

Good Sunday Morning!

Well, yesterday was not quite as good as I had hoped for, but I was a victim of circumstance. It worked out okay and I went over points by 3. I don't think it did any harm though.

Saturday May 26th

Breakfast - only time for coffee (black)

Lunch - Quarter Pounder cheeseburger with large fries and a Diet coke. (What was I thinking?) I let myself get way too hungry. So that was 25 pts. right there. My total for the day is 25 pts.

Dinner - 1 orange, 3/4 cup fibre cereal with just a splash of milk.

But today is a new day and I am doing just great. Life feels good when the food is put back in perspective. Have a good day and join in here if you wish. Love, G
