Daily Food Journal #1

I have to admit that I am proud of myself today! I did pretty good with eating good foods and logging them into my journal. I did notice some "starvation" periods, but I may bump up some of my meals to help counteract that. Below is a break down of what I ate today:

Breakfast
+ 40 grams of Frosted Flakes
+ 4 oz of FF milk
+ 20 seedless red grapes

Morning Snack
+ 1 oz of almonds

Lunch
+ 3 cups of green spring mix (salad)
+ 1 can (4 oz total) of tuna in water
+ 2 tablespoons of FF Italian dressing

Afternoon Snack
+ 1 fruit roll up
+ 1 pack of Orville Redenbacher's "smart pop" 94% FF Kettle Korn (single serve mini bag)

Evening
+ 1 snack bag of baked lays (plain)
+ Quizno's vegetarian sandwhich
+ 1 cookie
(note my dinner tonight was in part of a student program I was at. I also have not gone grocery shopping but plan to do so really soon).

Water Consumption = over 80 oz
Vitamins = Trader Joe's Women's Multivitamin, B12 and Iron

How I feel

Well I can definitely tell that I'm taking the Apple Cider Vinegar(AVC), for I'm having headaches...again. Lol. Before when I used this supplement, I was getting headaches. I feel this is due part to my appetite being curbed AND getting my body use to it. So, I won't give up on it yet Coach Johnson...but we will see.

Usually in the afternoons, my hunger increases and I get headaches if I don't eat something. I've learned that I need to have healthy snacks at my desk at all times so I won't be tempted to eat the office food (which can be anything these days). I want to try to eat my heaviest meal at lunch and not eat after 7 pm. It gets hard with work and then working out after work...so sometimes it may be not after 8 am. Baby steps I guess.....

I noticed today that with not having many food options at home (due to the lack of groceries in the house), I did not eat as much during the day. Then for dinner, I had that sandwich which should have been my lunch meal (a bigger meal). I will have to do better tomorrow....but at least I hit my activity goal!

I try to keep in mind how gluttony is one of the deadly sins, so I don't want to overeat just to be over eating. In order to do and see everything that God has planned for me, I need to be in the best shape I can be. I love how today's scripture pertains to how we can all inherit the kingdom of God. In order to experience the fullness of his mercy and blessings he has in stored for us, we must be born again. Understanding this will also aid in my weight loss goals and how God has a vital and important part of my success with the program.

I'm very excited to see what is to come in the coming weeks......
