journal

[juan92]

so i have managed to stay on track with workouts, but not so much on the diet side. although i eat healthy i usually end up adding more food than necessary(binge eating) healthy or unhealthy. i came to this decsion just now, to write down a diet journal so i an see what i do wrong. not only that but i could use the motivation, if i achieve something like completing planned meals without unplanned additions, im usually satisfied and in a better mood to hit the books (another issue im having now) and not procastinate as much. this is turning out to be more than a diet journal.
I will do this for one month and take some pics.

planned meals for today are (todays b/c its 1 AM, i was doing homework =/)...
4/25/11

terrible day, i felt tired sleepy, i had planned breakfast but in the morning i saw some pound cake and i had some, then after that it went down hill =(
when i got to college i had a large coffee + a muffin
then for lunch i had a bag of butter peacan cookies + chocolate chip. after that on the way back home we stopped at subway, and i had a kids meal which was 1/4 of a sub with 2 slices of turkey and 2 trinagle slices of swiss, t was really small but its the extras that contain the most calories, it cam with a juice box + bag of apple slices + 3 cookies(i would say medim size). then i got home and had some more pound cake + yogurt + minibagel w/PB + milk. aaaaah =[.
tomorrow is gym day, hope to get confidence up, specially when i think i am competing with someone =o

half of last week up till now have been terrible.
its finals week and i haven't been paying attention at all to diet, i have gotten much sleep at all 3 - 4 hours, but today is the lastday of exams for me, and im back on track. i am deciding to just write down these entries on a personal journal. however, i am still impressed that wrting down what i eat really helps, mainly because i am always thinking to write something positive down, so its always in mind and quite aware that i should becarfull with what i eat. k.
