Today I bought a cheap, easy to carry paper journal in which to record what I eat and when I exercise, and I made my first entry!

Today was a pre-diet practice run of journaling what I eat. It is proof that poor planning leads me to make bad food decisions, for I woke up late, had nothing portable in the house to take with me as I ran out the door, and subsequently gorged on food from the anniversary party of the store in which I work. In addition, I had not realized just how often I've been using food as a means of relieving stress, but today was a stressful day, and I was eating everything in sight, regardless of how hungry or full I was!
Yikes, look at that list! No wonder I've gained so much weight lately!
But this isn't something over which to berate myself; rather, it's something from which to learn. I know even better than before that I need to change now, and I am even more driven to make those changes I need.
So here goes: before I go to bed on Saturday evening (05 January), I will...
- Choose enough South Beach Diet recipes to cover all my meals for the next week
- Modify them for less costly ingredients
- Choose healthful snacks for between meals
- Buy groceries
- Prepare all the food I need for until Wednesday (09 January)
