Taking Steps

One whole week and a day of food journaling down.

Sometimes it helps me to make a better choice knowing that what goes into my mouth must go down on the paper.

I have been having headaches all week. I think possibly due to the cutting down on sugar, maybe partly to do with the abrupt changes in the weather.

Running out of coffee creamer is one surefire way to drink coffee with only whole milk. I make a commitment to not buy coffee creamer this week. The one week I make that declaration is one of the weeks that coffee creamer is on sale at the store. Go figure. But I stay strong and committed. I'll be out of town for the holiday and I know a holiday drink will be happening as a special occasion. But I still won't buy creamer.

I haven't noticed any real changes to me yet, aside from the likely sugar reduction headaches.

Pressing on. Determination and dedication and passion are just a few of the strong characteristics that I know I possess!

Back at it

Somewhere along the way I feel off the bandwagon.

I don't want to diet. I want a lifestyle change. Everything in moderation, eh?

Food journaling. It is a thing. A very good thing. I only started 5 days ago, but it is making me far more conscience about what I put in my mouth. I try to watch serving sizes and ingredients now.

Serving size for coffeemate coffee creamer is ONE Tablespoon. I was putting in far too many times that. I knew it was one Tablespoon. I just poured until my coffee was khaki colored. I cut out my coffee creamer use by over 1/2 of what I had been using. I need to cut it down at least another half of what I have it at now. But it is a start. I've avoided going to the store and buying an exorbitant amount of munchies (or any munchies in general!).

One thing at a time. Taking it slow enough to be a life style change. I can do this. I am doing this.
