What do I want to eat?

This was the question that was on my mind almost 24/7. Then something fun happened that required I keep an eating journal. This blog was created to be a place to log my daily entries. I know, I know...why would anyone want to post an eating journal? Not to mention, who one earth would want to read an eating journal? I don't know - all I do know, is that I need to keep one to help me eat more responsibly.

The following was recorded on Tuesday April 22, 2008.
Last Friday night Stephen was on a campout with the Young Men so Sonnet and I were out and about together. We decided on a double feature – one movie @ the plaza and another @ Edwards. We had a little time between show times so we wandered around the shops @ Edwards. Russo’s Books looked good so we stopped in for a browse. The first book I picked up had us laughing out loud so we decided to get it. It is called Neris and India’s Idiot-Proof Diet. The authors are India Knight and Neris Thomas. The next two days we were mesmerized and took turns reading out to each other. The authors, India & Neris, became our new best friends and this diet adventure is a result of our time together with them through the printed word.

'How It All Began' is where I have posted the first two months journal. There after the most recent post will contain the most current week. I will say this, as I look back through it I realize what started out as just an accountability tool, has evolved into something much, much more meaningful for me.

Wedding Bells

Popping in and out seems to be the way this blog goes but that’s OK with me. We have had some exciting news in our family – yesterday Sonnet became engaged. Wonderful.


She looked me right in the face and said, “We’ve got to get serious”. I guess there is nothing like a wedding to motivate weight loss. I admit it is not a very lofty reason. I mean all the books say one should maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle for the obvious health benefits such as enhanced physical ability, freedom from pain and improved appearance. Yea, yea, yea – that’s all textbook……true, but textbook none the less. Sonnet & I are going to stick with the very basic and vain motivation of, ‘We just want to look good in our dresses!’ (Especially hers)

Hence, here we go again. Weigh in day was today. I actually like to weigh in. It is usually not too shocking – I mean, after all, I live with myself. There is nothing the scale can revel that the mirror and my wardrobe have not made quite clear. So, as we begin I think I’ll refer to this as the wedding count down effort. I am quite excited.
