I started journaling again the day I went back to work. Now I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been as committed to it as I should - my excuse - because of work, therapy, Church and sometimes I'm just too tired to do it. Too tired - to pick up an I-pad and enter a few items electronically. What's that - sounds like an excuse?????! Yep - most likely it's that I don't want to document exactly what I'm eating.
Yes, I have been working a lot of hours - even if I only miss 45 minutes - catching up on that 45 minutes takes at least 1 1/2 hrs. Plus dr appts and I was sick one day - yes, this equals a lot of long hours to catch up. Focused on work instead of myself - nothing new there.
I will say that counting up what I'm eating is a real eye opener. I really truly didn't realize just how much "extra" I was eating. Instead of less than 1000 calories a day - I was at more like 1400 calories a day. Now with my little stomach - that means either high calorie foods or a lot of snacking or maybe a little of both.
In any case - I'm back to it. I'm committed to working on the best ME possible and that includes journaling. So, if it goes in my mouth - it goes on the I-pad.
