Getting the hang of logging my foods

I am really, really amazed at the JUNK I let slip into my diet. I've been logging my food since the 2nd and am blown away at the carb/fat/protein ratio that I've actually been taking in...DAILY!

I'm definitely more aware of WHAT I am putting in my mouth since I've put the rule in place that EVERYTHING must be logged.
I even had to log the 7 cookies I ate today .

WTH??? 7 cookies!
I'm not perfect....and never will be, but I am trying to do better than I did yesterday.

It's crazy how the numbers creep up when we get lazy with meal planning! I find that logging in the food prior to eating makes me much more aware of the quality of food that I am putting in my body.

That is what I am finding too Julie. I am pre planning tomorrows foods, based on whether I LIKE what the calorie/carb/fat break down looks like.

I am with you! I actually sent all the carbs to work with my husband. I am trying to eat no carbs for a week or 2. When he leaves for work I clean up the kitchen, turn the light off, close the pantry door and only sneak into the fridge at snack and lunchtime for my chicken breast. When I passed up my SW last year I realized things had to change! Just me

Justme,
I couldn't go a day without some type of carb....I'm just not that strong. But I am letting the teenager dispose of the junk foods(Trust me when I say he can afford the extra calories, he's 6ft.2 @180lbs). DH and I have discussed that we need to plan better for our NEEDS instead of feeding our wants.

Lifebeauty,
Journaling my food intake is my new passion. You are SO right, it is a BIG MISTAKE to ever stop journaling.
