I have been keeping a journal faithfully since I started but thought it would be fun to do it on here also....I like the company and being held accountable.
I usually have a snack between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner and even one at night if I am a bit hungry but weekends are hard because I am usually out doing something. I try and keep the calories between 1200-1400.
Everyone keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!
