keep a food diary for a month

I’ve kept this up for 2 whole weeks even though on most day’s I’ve eaten too much and sometimes I ate out and had to guess with the tracker or log the closest thing I could find.

I’ve been using the online tracker at www.sparkpeople.com
It’s free to sign up but if you do please say I recommended it to you as I’ll get points. (The points are just for fun but I like to collect them). Please send me a message with your email and say you’d like to join sparkpeople and I can email you an invite.

Anyway, I’m very proud for keeping this up for 2 weeks. Usually I don’t track my food intake if I feel I’ve been “bad.”

I’m pleased with today. I knew I was going out for a meal tonight and had been saving my points. I thought I’d also have garlic bread and drink more but no one else was having a starter and I declined going for drinks after as I had a headache.
