time for change!!!

i need to change my icons. i'll do that sometime today.

i started my spreadsheet food-intake tracking and remembered to write down my fudz this past weekend and monday. considering i just started a spreadsheet for yesterday, i'm not going to tally my totals for the weekend and 'ruin' a spreadsheet for the week before. but i wrote it down and the habit was started. we are back in business. 8/17/2012 was the last entry in my food journal. amazing how easy it is to drop out of the habit.

a whole season went by without tracking. well, almost. but since i'm naming this "winter2013" i may as well have missed "fall2012" since i have zero spreadsheet for it.

people ask why i do it. yes, mostly habit. i started tracking to see if i had a migraine food trigger. (i don't.) but i kept tracking because doing so helps me stay aware of what i am eating. i snack a million times more when i am not writing it down. sounds stupid, but there it is. if i have to write it down i have time to think, "do i really need those chips? do i really want another mini donut? can i make better choices?" and i tend to make better choices. not to say i avoid all junk food all the time because... note... i said "another" mini donut, which implies, "hell yes i ate a mini powdered donut! they're delicious!" i just don't need "another" one. ;)

so i feel i am back on track.

i also am more inclined to attend my dates with Gym when i am also counting my food intake. "whoo-ee this weekend was a high fat high calorie day. was it worth it? sure! but let's go to the gym now." i am missing him anyway. my cardio is for shite and i've only been going to yoga at the gym and yoga at my yoga studio. i feel the need lately to sweat out some of my stress.

in other news, my documentation is all but prepared. no, i didn't send it off last night because it still needed some more tweaks. but i feel it's ready for go. bad form to send it from work though--so i'll send it tonight as soon as i get home. ;)
