Food logs

I know I'm not here nearly as often as I should be and it's high time that I make that change.  This blog is special to me even though I haven't been able to consistently write in it.  My husband asks me if I want to keep it or not and I'm always saying yes and feel bad for not doing enough with it.  Between the two of us, we've had some great ideas to put up on here!  So from now on I'm going to make more of an effort and do that.

When I logged in to make my vent I noticed that I had started a food log.  I've done those so many times and I just can't stick with it in the long run.  Don't get me wrong though!  I think they are fabulous for people who need to keep track.  For example, if you're new to losing weight or the 80/10/10 diet.  I think it's important to be able to show yourself what you regularly eat, how many calories, fat, carbs, and protein you're consuming.  I even liked to add how I was feeling after every meal or just anytime I felt the need to write what was on my mind.  Exercise is another great one to keep track of.  Food logs are also great for making your daily meals up ahead of time.  For some people, if they write it down like it's already happened, it's easier to follow through instead of having a slip up.  The thing is, for me, I've been doing the food log thing for years.  And now that I'm sticking with a high carb, low fat, vegan to raw diet, and exercising regularly I pretty much have a handle on how many calories I'm eating.  For example, my 10 banana smoothie in the morning is about 1000 calories.  And with eating such a healthy diet I don't need to watch my calories as in restricting so when I'm hungry, I just eat, and it's all good.

So overall, sorry for not staying on top of things.  I'll be working on that and I'm really excited about it.  See you soon!

Peace and Love
