Keeping Myself Honest

I had a lot less hunger yesterday and did not crave any chocolate or other treats. I did have 3 ginger chews though. Here is what I ate yesterday: fat free yogurt, 2 eggs, 1 oz cheese, 3 oz chicken, tart size quiche, soy nuts, another quiche and red and green peppers. Along with the ginger chews this added up to about 1,200 calories. I also did 30 minutes of aerobic dance.

Most diet plans state that one of the things that make one dieter successful over another is journaling what you eat and do. I have made fancy journals and decorated them with stickers and motivational sayings. I pasted in computer generated models of my shape as I am now and how I want to be. This worked fine and the creating of the journal was fun but the problem was that it would not fit into my handbag so it wasn't always handy. I have abandoned the bigger one for the pocket size. I prefer the Moleskines with the graph paper. You can chart your weight and your measurements on the graphs as well as keep track of how much water you drink and your servings of various food groups. Moleskines are expensive but I find they work for me.

Oh, and I lost another pound! The battle continues.
