66Pack's Journal, 24 February 2021

this is why I sometimes take pics of my food without comment. memorialize it for logging if I'm on the run. sometimes, I also try to plan meals ahead and change them on the fly. 

Good idea 😊 

not a senior moment only thing!! in my 20s i also do that  

Drive first. No logging while you drive. 😅😅 Be safe sir!! ☺️ 

those aren't just senior moments. just last week I looked at my calories. I went right to the line and was proud I didn't go over. until I remembered the 2 snacks I didn't log. oops  

There ya go, smart🍀 

Ah so it may not be a senior moment! Thanks for the true confession’s ! 😜 @ Wifey - you should see what goes on in some vehicles at interstate speeds! 😜 The big truck vantage point is a great place to examine other traffic. Devices are only one driver distraction......and yes distraction is rampant in ALL traffic today.  

There's a problem w/that too. YOu might change your mind.... ;-) 

ohhhg!!!! we need a stupid things you've seen while driving thread. that would be monumentally entertaining.  

Reading this just reminded me of my granola bar I shoved in my mouth as I ran to pick up my kid from school... Oops. Gotta put it on. 

I logged on Wednesday the rice I ate AND the Plantain chips AND the beer I used to wash it down this past Sunday at 2 am when no one was looking. My old brain told me to. "Unless I write, I don't bite" is a tough rule, but necessary for some of us. 

Oh yes I’m well aware. Hubby has seen it all too. People are senseless! 

Absolutely do that all the time!! I log my food in the morning - my lunch and treats otherwise I forget what I ate. Chesgreen is absolutely right! If you’re not logged you can eat it! I’m going to go by his rules, “unless I write, I don’t bite” it’s too cute!! That should be posted everywhere! Thanks Chesgreen! 

@Shrewdness - Thanks, but I'm sure I copied it from someone on FS who has the results to show. I am mess and working hard on creating behaviors that lead to favorable results. 

Erq, exactly. More data = longer retrieval time. 🤔 

I started logging my food for the week ahead, since ordering groceries and pick up online. That way I'm sure I have all the ingredients in the house. Since then I find I just look up what I logged and work with it. I am flexible and will change meals up on a whim. 

I always think the aging mind is like a toll bridge. All the information is still there, but sometimes I can't find the right token to make the bridge drop down so I can get to it. 

@TexasGranny PERFECT analogy by a true country girl! 😇 

I'm working really hard to log everything going forward. When I don't. I'm often a mess. My husband tells my kids the reason they remember things is because their heads are so empty. His is packed with the learning of a lifetime. They groan and moan at him and we all get a good laugh. Maybe it is hard to remember the little tho gs when we have important things tucked away in our heads.! 😁
