Know What You Eat!

This week one of the things we are working on is keeping a food journal. As fancy or as plain as you make them, keeping track of your daily food intake by journaling is very important, in terms of knowing how many calories you're taking in, as well as the nutritional value, not to mention just become a more aware and intentional eater! It's also very helpful to note why you're eating and how you're feeling -- "Yes, I just ate 5 slices of pizza because today was R-E-A-L-L-Y stressful at work, I bounced a check, and I'm feeling really blue!!!! IS THAT A PROBLEM?!?!?!?!!?" Whoa, sister, just step away from the frig and put the pen down!!!!

Anyway, I am recommending THIS SITE (just click here) from Self Magazine, where you can look up nutritional information on a food by entering it into their search window, and it will bring all the data up for you with colorful charts and info. Give it a try!
