Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 17 March 2017

You may be trying to eat healthy if.. you compare your love to people with food. Yesterday I told a friend I loved them more than chocolate. This morning I told the 4 yr old I loved him more than peanut butter. This could also be an excellent way to mess with your children because they will never know which is better.. peanut butter or potato chips.

Speaking of food. I need to learn to actually log my food. I have a mental total in my head as I go along but I'm also operating on 6 hours of sleep most days so some things may just be slipping by me. Like did I eat something in the car on the way to work?? I don't think so. I know I eyes the pistachios in my bag but decided they were too messy and then it would give the kids evidence that yes.. people do eat in the car despite the frequent yelling that it will not ever take place. Plus I thought I packed a breakfast bar.. but I can't find it. Maybe the kids took it to the sitter. I know they took my gum with them but I have no clue if one of them pocketed the breakfast bar. It's happened before so I'm not sure. lol

Other than that.. my abs hurt so I'm still doing something right and I'm looking for a workout app that will track all of this stuff so I don't have to scribble things in a notebook my kids keep trying to bogart so they can draw things too. I think I need a lock box for notebooks and breakfast bars.

Hope everyone has a good day! I'm going to go name my coworkers after cookies now.

Logging your food is a great way to remember what you eat. I find that if I log it before I eat, I don't usually eat extra because it "isn't logged" A lock box might work for the little ones but they have a way of getting in anyways. Good luck!

Hi Dairy Farmers Wife! I love your cow picture! My thoughts are you are moving so fast that you are not taking the time to sit down and enjoy your food, it may sound silly but if you sit down and look at your food and enjoy it you may remember it. Even if it is just 15 mins. :) I hope you don't mind my contribution. Have a lovely day!

Yes - as you know I log all my food and the calories burned in formal workouts here on FS. It just works for me

I use an app called 'Strong' but I believe it is only available for iPhone. It does not calculate calories used, just keeps detailed records of sets, reps, time, and tracks your previous efforts and personal best. It DOES track the time invested, which you could transfer to FS if you wish. You can easily add custom exercises to 'Strong', and export your records to date via email.

There's some people I'd like to name after foods, but I think they'd figure out my opinion of them if I called them tofu or turducken or macadamia?
