Share Food Diary

But seriously, I am in aww of those of who have been taking this journey and raising children. I really don't know how you do it.

I am a parent and I take it as a great leson that I can teach my son. He is 5. He has always been a great healthy eater naturally. Not sure where he gets it from. But anyways he loves trying new fruits and vegetables with me. Loves helping make a healthy home cooked meal. Since I started this journey we have talked alot about why we want to eat healthy and what can happen to our bodies if we don't take care of them. I hope that this experience will stick with him for his whole life and that he will never have to live a day overweight. Don't get me wrong we still have a splurge now and then and go to mcdonalds but is only once a month or once other month. He is surprisingly ok with it.

would have got more from exercise but my gym just got 2 new Zumba teachers who are horrible, in an hour class I barely broke a sweat tonight. With my old teacher I would leave class dripping and burning around 800 calories in the hour. I am seriously considering getting certified as a Zumba trainer. Now to find an extra $300 lying around....

Another good day yesterday. I really wanted to eat some girl scout cookies but instead had a frozen pudding. Normally don't eat 3 of them in a day. I was just really craving something sweet. This really helps keep me in check on what I am eating.

I went WAY over on sodium today. We made soy meat tacos (due to Lent) and everything I put in seemed to be super high (soy ground meat, FF refried black beans & taco seasoning). But yummy all the same, and I've already had 12 glasses of water, and will probably get another couple in before bed.

The stuffed french toast I had for breakfast was not as good as I would have liked. I've been wanting it for a while now (done at a restaurant just down the road from us). I had an hour to kill between dropping the kids off at school and needing to go to work, so I thought I'd go eat breakfast. Instead of using the good thick texas toast bread , they used two regular slices of white bread. And too much egg! It had blobs of egg stuff all around the edges, and the inside of the french toast was still soggy from it. And they put sooo much whipped cream on it (I think to cover the icky look of the toast) that even after I scraped half off it was a lot! I kind of guestimated amounts and brands, but figure I got pretty close. It'll be a while before I get that craving again....

*You've earned 151 extra calories from exercise today I did 10 minutes on the eliptical. No where near what I wanted to do But I wasn't feeling that great. Going back to the gym tonight so I am going to make the most out of it.

I would really like to join this thread. I have gotten out of the routine of tracking my food, I often think I can just do it in my head, ya right. That's what I did yesterday, so I don't have anything to post. But I'm going out tonight and knowing I'm posting my food tomorrow will help me stay on track.

Anything else you need to know about me, or anything I need to know about this thread before I start? I didn't read all 6 pages, so if there's something I missed, please fill me in.

Thanks!!
