I track my food intake on two separate apps, mostly because of the different information I can get with each. On SparkPeople, which I've used forever, I'm tracking potassium, sodium and Vitamin C. I also use my Samsung Health app on the phone, and yes, I can get those same numbers - but only if I eat servings in half or full size, and I am sometimes more precise than that. For example, I quarter my potatoes, bake them, and only have 3 quarters in a meal. The reason that I like the Samsung app for tracking is because it gives me a nutrient quotient as a goal. The nutrients in foods based on a 100% scale and both Tuesday and Wednesday, I got 85% !! I was thrilled with that. What I'm eating is good wholesome foods, not processed stuff, and that's what I need.
I've cut way back on the Diet Coke. Now, I look forward to my little "treat" at 2pm - which is when I really need a pick-me-up! But I'm having a harder time kicking sugar's ass off my plate, so to speak. When things get stressful at work, the first thing I want is chocolate. Because it's soothing? or have I acclimated myself to that choice? Probably both. Yesterday was a walk from my boss's boss's boss's boss. Yes, 4 levels of bosses making walking around in my area, discussing things that we should be doing. And the whole time, I'm wishing I had a chocolate. I didn't, and I survived! So I'm counting that as a success! Since I'm at the age where I don't need to make excuses, just list reasons, the reason I didn't post yesterday as I was behind in a long overdue email to my BFF. I discovered this because when I got a new phone in December, I didn't realize that I needed to actually set notifications to see phone calls and voice mails. When I finally figured this out last weekend, I had a voice mail from her!
Sometimes, I'm really that blonde -- because that sound better than saying I'm that old!! haha
