I am keeping a food diary here. lol It will hopefully help me take better care of myself. I need to up my intake of certain foods and decrease the amount of food and drink i consume. Vitamin supplements are also on the agenda. I found a website which may help with my efforts in terms of keeping me motivated.

If i track the following:

Water:
Fruit:
Veg:
Pulses:
Dairy:
Red meat:
Fish:
Grains:

Anything else? We’ll see how it goes.

I haven’t been able to do this much lately.
not since three months ago when all these health problems started.
Now five surgery’s later,
I’m sure there is no way I could run my five miles,
or even do more then a few push ups.

I had wanted to start a goal of doing 100 push ups
before I got sick, and I think I am well enough to start getting back in shape now…
hopefully I wont overdo it.

seem to have cracked these two – just the exercise one now and the coffee of course tho it’s loads better than it was. I am also halving my weekly alcohol consumption and feel loads better.

I see a major difference
in my attitude,and even in how I feel physically
when I spend the time I should devouring The Word

Loads of fruit and fibre being consumed here – well not loads as i am having small portions!! lol Been getting to bed earlier and doing well with my exercise.

Need to tighten up on the coffee comsumption as I’ve slipped back into the bad habit again at work the past week or so!

three portions of fruit today and two portions of veg(at least)

Did drink coffee but not too much

Drank quite alot of water before leaving the house today

Walked a bit

Think my calorie intake may be reasonable today

Had a better night’s sleep last night after hitting the sack at 9pm!! Woke at 2 am and on and off after that but not major-ly disturbed.

and I know that this is because I do not take enough care of my body. Keeping off the coffee but there are other changes I need to make.

Here I am awake at 1:30am. I have not been sleeping well for a few days now.

And my walking buddy has been too busy to walk lately, and I haven’t been walking on my own.

And I’ve been bitten by fire ants on my left foot tonight, and now my foot is swelling and reddening. Looks like I might have trouble walking tomorrow.

Time to see what I can put on the foot, and get into bed, and try to sleep.

At least my eating wasn’t too bad today.
