I also got tired of tracking my food. So... I need to do some thinking about that. I really get bogged down with calorie counting. I tried using my fitness pal again, but the app didn't always work properly, so I'd have to record on my husband's laptop.
So, here I am. It's the holiday season. Cookies will be baked. Parties will be attended. I will do my best to make good choices. Here is what I ate today:
- 6:30AM Actually measured 1 cup of Kashi cereal, 1/2 cup plain almond milk, 10 oz. Coffee with 1 tsp sugar, dash of half and half
- 10 AM lime Chobani
- 12PM chicken breast, green beans, 2 pepermint sticks, decaf unsweet tea
- 3PM air popped popcorn, orange after 45 minutes of weights with number one son
- 6:30PM 1/2 of a ham, cheese, broccoli with whole wheat crust quiche, 2 more pepermint sticks while I cleaned up dishes. Probably shouldn't have had the 2nd piece of quiche, but it was so good! I hadn't made one in a long time.
Take courage! Sometimes it's hard. Counting calories is not funny. I go twice a week to fitness. On my own. Not always fun. But it's good for me. Beautiful picture! What do you eat delicious things. I start every morning with oatmeal.

Thank you for the encouragement, Jedidja. My daughter took the picture while we were on a 3 mile hike. I love oatmeal, too. :)
DeleteGood for you, Jenn! It sounds like you are doing great and have looked ahead thoughtfully to the holiday season. And your food does sound so good! :)
ReplyDeleteBless you, Annie Kate. The holidays are usually hard for me to navigate. I think if I'm making an effort to be moderate by making thoughtful choices, maybe I will succeed this year!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. I hate calorie counting and food journals too. I know they help and all, but I get so bogged down in them. It sounds like you have a good plan for the holiday season. I hope you continue to do well. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you to be making an effort even through the holidays. I gained a lb. over Thanksgiving but have lost it now. I always want to start diets during holidays... such a hard time. I have no eating plan, but hope to change that. Right now all's I do is graze all day long... mostly on frozen blueberries and cashews, which is healthy, but I'm not losing anything. Time to break out the salads. I think i need to set a goal for Anna's graduation open house.
