Food Diary - Day 2

Let me say first of all...

I HATE DOING A FOOD JOURNAL!!!

I always have and it's one of the reasons I don't stick with it.

It's boring, same ol' same ol' and just one more thing to do each day.

BUT...

Doing one this week has kept me very mindful.  For example, yesterday was a Wednesdays and they are usually one of my toughest days.  I was busy and didn't really get a good lunch.  I had to run into the grocery store in the afternoon and was starving by the time I got out.  I had the kids with me and picked up snacks for them.  I could have easily had some of their snacks, but instead, I grabbed the container of raspberries instead.

Same thing today, I had to stop at the store and was getting hungry.  The old, not keeping track of things, Amy would have just picked up a chocolate bar for a quick pick me up.  But because I am posting my results for all the world to see (not just myself) I resisted temptation.

Onto my results for the day.

Breakfast:  (251 cal)


1 granola bar
1 1/2 cups of cherries

Lunch:  (506 cal)


50g. nacho chips
6 tbsp. Salsa
1 Weight Watchers Frozen Meal

Dinner:  (794)


2 large hot dogs
1 hot dog bun
1 snack pack of Smart Choice popcorn
1 tbsp mustard
1tbsp ketchup

Snacks:  (160 cal)


4 popsicles

exercise for today - 15 minutes of walking/running - 100 calories burned

NUMBER TOTALS FOR THE DAY:

Calories In - 1711 cal
Calories Burned - 100 cal

Under by 118 calories

So, here is hoping I have another day with numbers below my levels for the day!

Until next time,

Amy

  1. I hate tracking and keeping a journal too but if I don't I fall completely off track

  2. Doing good! I like how you didn't have two hot dog buns. That's a good improvement!
