These two are linked together. I have never really struggled with my weight before. However after my three months in South Carolina I have struggled to lose the pounds that I did put on there. Stress and eating poorly along with limited exercise was the reason for the weight gain.
I have tried to improve my diet since being home and it has improved quite a bit but there is lots of room for improvememt. The frustrating part is how quick my body got of shape and how hard it is to get back into shape. The older I am getting the harder its becoming to stay in shape if my diet is poor.
This is why I am writing this blog today. I need to become more accountable for what I am eating. The only way that I think I can do this is to publicly announce what I have eaten everyday. So starting today with this blog I am going to publicly share what I have eaten. I am going to do this until the end of April.
Breakfast
One chocolate croissant
Half a cup of black coffee
Lunch (went to Cracker Barrel rest)
Two eggs with ham, two biscuits with some gravy, baked apples, two glasses of sweet tea and some apple dumplings with ice cream. Wow I didn't realize I ate that much for lunch!!
Supper
Baked cabbage with pulled pork, fresh salad and two glasses of water. One light beer.

A good way to stay accountable to yourself is to write it down, sometimes I stop myself from eating garbage food because I don't want to write it down, even if I am the only one seeing it. It's like I get embarrassed for myself?!? Something like that, anyways, it works for me, I hope that it works for you :)
ReplyDeleteBeen there!! A couple of times over. Keep the foods whole and real (fruits, veggies, eggs, meats, nuts & seeds) and you will be amazed as to how quickly you will recover and how good you will feel.
ReplyDeleteJournaling great for both accountability and for telling the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" about what you are putting in your mouth. That is of course as long as you are writing it down. :)
