Upbeat kinda day

After a much needed venting yesterday, I have to say I'm in a pretty GREAT mood today! :)

Did really good yesterday on keeping track of EVERYTHING I ate, I have started a food journal where I am writing down the time in which I eat my food, what it is I am eating and how many calories, carbs, fat, fiber, and protein are in all the foods I eat throughout the day.  After getting my labs back I need to keep an eye on how many calories and how much fat I am consuming in a day... This was very eye opening for me to really see what I am eating and how important it is to keep track of all these things being put into my body because I'm trying to figure out how to properly nourish my body instead of completely indulging in all the things that have got me to this point of Morbid Obesity! (yes... I said it... it's scary to put myself in that category but it's very necessary for me to understand the extent of these words!) 



This week my goal is to just keep track of things I consume, obviously to watch what I'm eating but to just be able to get an accurate chart to go off of to see what I really do need to change! One thing that I'm learning very slowly and impatiently is to remember I can't change EVERYTHING at once.  You have to try and change things slowly, my instinct is to look at all the bad things in my life and try to get rid of them all at the same time but I've learned over the last couple months of trying to do that, IT DOESN"T WORK.  So that is why this weeks goal is small just making sure to write down everything, once I have mastered that task I can try to change another important part of my journey! :)

I just use a regular notebook in order to create my food journal usually on one side I will try the lines down it to seperate the different catergories and then on the other side of the page I leave so I can take notes for myself (such as, what I learned that day, or what foods I enjoyed that I tried in that day... anything to keep my encouraged and learning)
