Have you ever tried to keep a food journal????...it is NOT easy!

I went to Dr. Yorker for a free pH+ test this week. I was on the low end, like most, eating mostly foods with high asidity levels. I came up low, he said, keep a food journal, I said "no problem." And, today, I think I had a bite of 60 different types of food. I can't possibly journal it. Sufice it to say mixed fried platter...but I only took 2 bites :) Then ummmmm... mixed mexican apps....I definately dug in to the guac and the black bean dip.I cut my grilled shrimp "small plate," in half and then I went back for the 2nd half. And, I definately had a least a piece of the corn bread. I'd venture to say a few bites over the reccoemended dinner. But, ya know what...I ate fairly lite bites all day long. The equivalant of a big bowl of chicken and rice soup. (slowly, throughout the day), a medium frozen chocolate coffee from dunkin donuts (But...I got the skim milk!!!) hummm...I must be forgetting something. If thats all I ate, I'll be very happy!!! I didn't work out, but I got a double work out in yesterday and my body needed a little rest. Ok,,,moral of the story is that if you journal once in a while, you'll realize you didn't need to fee guilt about that extra serving of yummy cheddar jalepeno grits:) I gotta say, that's not how I expected it to go. I definately expected to be horribly over my calories. Another day down...it's only about 60 days to beach wear...so back to the weights tomorrow!! Try it for 2 weeks...you can miss a day here and there. But, seriously try it!!!! I promise, it helped me so much!!

Exercise: Nothin...
Food: High in fat and protein and white carbs, but reasonable calorie count
