I can honestly say that writing what you are eating really does seem to work. I feel like I did really well over the last 4 days. What do you think...Do you have any suggestions....(the question mark on my computer is not working its doing this funky thing É) Also, making sure that you have snacks ready and waiting in the fridge makes grabbing a quick bite easier and I have learned to LOVE leftovers. Leftovers make my lunches so easy! I also managed to get my exercise in this week. I went for 3 walks and fit in a 20 min leg workout. WIN! The end result is that I feel good and I think I will continue to food journal.
