Despite reading about the importance of maintaining a food journal, I figured I could just keep track in my head. Boy was I wrong! I thought I was doing a pretty good job of approximating the number of calories I was consuming each day. After all, food is my passion and I have a pretty good idea of calorie counts. Over the years, my weight has slowly and steadily crept up, up, up to an all-new high. I brown-bag it during the work-week and prepare really good lunches: usually delicious salads, sometimes brown rice and steamed or lightly sauteed veggies and fruits and cut up veggies for snacks. But still... even though I know better, when I'm at work I find myself munching on a couple of handfuls of pretzels, some chocolates, peanuts, etc. later in the afternoon. Then, I go home and cook a large dinner. It's just the two of us, but I like to prepare extra so BF can take leftovers to work....
