Ughh the damn journal is flipping impossible!! I do good until like noon then when I get home from work I try to update it but get halfway thru the update and get distracted ugh!!

So today - I tore out all the old pages of mine and starting fresh (so far so good!).

I don't know for sure since I am not that far out but I think 3 oz is considered one serving of meat. You would probably want to stick with 3-4 oz of meat and then add some veggies, fruits and whole grains but no more than 8 oz at any one meal. Does that sound right?
