Trying to regroup

Oh! How I have fallen behind. I have discovered I am not good at keeping up with a blog. I also think that I got lazy and didn't want to report on my failures! But keeping a food journal really helps me keep track of my eating. It helps better than any thing else I've tried. So today I decided to try to get back on track. I have a good reason to do so. We are trying to have another baby. Not only would I like to lose some weight before that happens, I also want to continue good habits throughout my pregnancy.

I am recording what I eat at www.sparkpeople.com. It's free and so easy to use. That's all I am doing as far as a "diet". Just trying to be conscious of what I put in my mouth. I do so much "mindless" eating. I find myself popping a cookie in my mouth every time I walk through the kitchen. Just because they are "there". Just knowing I was going to record it today at sparkpeople made me pause and be aware of what I'm eating. So if this is so effective, why don't I do this everyday? Good question. I wish I had the answer. I keep looking for that...whatever...that will make today different than every other day. Every morning I wake with the best intentions, and every night I go to bed mad at myself for not following through.

Diet today was:
Breakfast-2 pieces of whole wheat toast w/ PB and J
Yogurt
Coffee w/ a splash of 2% milk

Lunch-I thought I was going to have to go into work today, so I quickly made a sandwich in between dropping Evan back home from camp and rushing to my office. Just 2 pieces of whole wheat w/ some turkey breast, cheese , cucumber, and mustard. I didn't need to stay at work, so when I came home, I made a homemade cheese pizza for the kids. I had a slice of that w/ some grapes.

Snack-Popsicle made w/ Crystal Light

Dinner-Baked Tacquitos w/ salsa and 1 tbsp of guacamole, and mixed vegetables.

Exercise- I wanted to walk on the beach while Evan was in his camp, but it rained the whole time. Maybe tomorrow. I am going to do a Firm DVD. The ad slogan they use is visible results in 10 workouts. This will be workout #5 lately, so we'll see!
