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.
Back in the Game
Day three and feeling good. I was worried about the Relief Society birthday dinner last night for no reason. They served up a salad bar – perfect. I had a delicious dinner and easy skipped on dessert. Today the missionaries are coming for dinner and I am serving taco salad. Stephen & I can make ours just the way we need to and the missionaries can eat away. I usually serve dessert when the missionaries come so I decided to make a pan of brownies, cut them up and send them on a plate out the door with them when they leave. Brilliant. I checked in with Sonnet today and she said they had been Zoning all day. This is day one for them. Good Job!
I didn’t mention that Tiffany is now in the mix.
In talking to her she expressed a general dissatisfaction with her lack of exercise. During a Baltimore winter there are weather challenges to getting out and moving. Her activity of choice is running and just had not managed to get up the gumption to hit the road. When we talked, I mentioned that S&C as well as Dad & I were starting the Zone. She said she would start running while we started Zoning. Great to have a support group. I got a text from her yesterday saying she went for her first run – good for her. I guess we are all on our way.
