Oh no.......diet tracking!

Well, July is almost here, and time to start tracking!  As the month of July was mentioned for this, I just gulped, worried that now it’s going to be right out there as to where my weaknesses are (hmmmm chocolate).  I think I am probably going to discover just why I am one on the team, who is not down a pant size!

As for our families diet, it’s pretty good.  We’ve got the lets hurry meals because we have to have someone somewhere, but overall, we eat pretty healthy.  We are very conscious of what we eat and are into the label reading.  Unlike some people who need little to survive, our entire family is one who definitely needs food.  We would never last on Survivor, and would be first voted off because of extreme grouchiness! 

Although I am a little nervous as to what I will discover, I think it will be good for me.  Logging, for me, has turned out to be a great tool.  It has shown me just how much or how little I’m doing.  It’s right there on paper.  I have realized as I add up my numbers, 50,000 of this or 1000 of that, are not unachievable.  It has actually given me a little push thinking “I bet I can beat that number.”  Of course this is on some of my requirements, not all.

So for this diet tracking, all I can say is please don’t judge.  As we are on holidays, I will probably, ok for sure, eat a good old hot dog or two and a few nibs.  As the saying goes in our house when we indulge on that piece of pie or chocolate, “how many push ups is that worth?”
