100 Days of Focus on Health: Day 26 (accountability)

Journalling what I eat is continuing to make me more mindful of what I'm eating. I've also started using the dreaded scale daily to see that I'm heading in the right direction. My other measures are how well I can keep up in my exercise classes and my general feeling of well-being. I'm am holding myself accountable to my goal of better health by keeping these measures.

100 Days of Focusing on Health: Day 26

"The large print giveth and the small print taketh away." -Tom Waits. Today my healthy focus has been reading labels. Even stopping to read labels takes away your desire to impulse eat. I'm also trying to eat more raw and whole foods that don't have labels at all, except what nature made! Activity: Kickboxing class and yoga class Results: Down 2.3 lbs since I've started food journalling and keeping count of weight loss.

100 Days of Focus on Health: Day 25 (food journalling)

Last Friday, I travelled with Kiernan and my Mother-in-law to Minneapolis for Kiernan's dance competition. We stopped on the way for a bite to eat and the obligatory book store rummange. In this book-seeking, I found a really neat food journal in a local bookstore in Hudson, Wisconsin. It has a place to write down what you eat each day as well as your daily activity. This means that you need to have a daily activity! I also like that it has different positive thoughts on fitness and prompts to make goals. This is my third day of keeping a food journal. It definitely keeps you in mind of what you are putting into your mouth. On a positive note, it has also allowed me to see the progress I've already made towards eating a more nutritional diet. This is another big step in accountability for me, to commit to paper what I'm eating and doing each day will further keep me on track.
