I started today writing down my foods I have eaten. I have done fairly well and glad to say that I have finished eating before 6:45 p.m. and now will just drink water for an hour and be done for the night.
I also started writing down what I have been doing all day to see where I procrastinate. It is my hope that their won't too many days wasted.

Every Day is a New Day
I have had some yo-yo days over eating and exercising. They seem to be the same ones and if I could just get past the hard moments then maybe, just maybe I can get control of what I need to do. They say you should write down EVERYTHING you eat. My perfectionistic ways are also putting down the fats, carbs, proteins etc...but after day three I have not done any of that.
Notebooks....I like them! I have scores....the kids will have an interesting time figuring out my journals as I have about 6 and I write in them when I find one to write in so they aren't really in order. One day however, I will try to figure it out before it is too late. I have done well for many years keeping track and having them in order when Spencer and Crystal were on their missions. What joy that was for us....we were so blessed. We have great blessings now....but those were awesome days.
Back to the notebook. I thought I would make a habit out of keeping an 'everything' I eat diary for one month and if I master that I will add either one of the following...fats, carbs or proteins or calories to what I write down. I WILL master the habit I am trying to form. The 'I WILL' says I will do it....if I said 'I will try'.....I become a failure even before I try.

Forever Ago
It seems a long time since I have written and it has! It's true that every day is a new day; and the days go faster when you are older. Or is it just that we are so busy and hopefully it is the right kind of busy.
I am not going to catch up the last two months as my time is limited. I will however, add this little tidbit and I don't even remember where I got it from. Try whipping strawberries in a blender with milk with some xylitol and whip some air into it and drink it down 1/2 hour before eating your next meal. They say you will fill fuller and not even want to eat much or more throughout the day. Have a great one!
