Oh, I also took my measurements today (though I may have to redo them, the waist especially sounds fishy)


Calf: 14
Thigh: 22.5 (!!!!! down from 31)
Wrist: 5.5
Bust: 34
Waist (thinnest point): 29 (!!!)
Hips: 37.5

Body fat = 22.5% = FITNESS level (wheee!!!!)

This is down from 15, 31, 5.5, 34, 33, 39--a few weeks ago.

1. Record the day and time of your snack or meal.

breakfast 10:15
lunch 11:45
dinner 6:15

2. List the food and serving size at every snack or meal, with a different food or drink on each line. For instance, if you ate a hamburger, fries and a soda, list fries on one line and soda on another; then break up the hamburger into its components: meat on one line, buns on the next, tomatoes on another.

3. Where did you eat? home, at bus stop.



Interpreting Your Journal

Steps:
1. Determine your motivation for eating. Are you truly hungry when you eat? If not, are you eating for emotional reasons? Yep, just hunger today. It was too long before dinner though ;_;

2. Compare the types of food and portions you eat with the food pyramid. Do you eat well-balanced meals with good serving sizes? Do some areas have room for improvement?
Grain: 3
Meat: 2
Dairy: 2 (eep)
Fruit: 2
Vegetables: 5 (yay!)
Sweet: 3
Fat: 2
(small amt of sweets and fats)--I feel like I haven't eaten enough food, look at those small numbers!

(numbers is just stuff listed under that category, amts aren't taken into account)

3. Do you eat regularly, or do you eat a little and then overindulge later? Fairly regularly, but I ate way past full at dinner (does it matter, though? I'm hungry now again).

4. Brainstorm ways to repair problems. Could've used more meat, and I should at least take calcium pills. Still, fruit+veg was good. And I only had a little of the sweet/fat category!

Right, uh, I exist.

2. Compare the types of food and portions you eat with the food pyramid. Do you eat well-balanced meals with good serving sizes? Do some areas have room for improvement?
Grain: 3
Meat: 2
Dairy: 3
Fruit: 0 (EEPS)
Vegetables: 5
Sweet: 4

3. Do you eat regularly, or do you eat a little and then overindulge later? Fairly regularly.

4. Brainstorm ways to repair problems. Um, well, I could stand to eat a little more between meals--fewer sweet things, more meat/fruit to fill me up.

Food: 2/2
Water: 2/2
Exercise: 2/2
Challenge: 2/2 (scared of karate. did it anyway)

So today I start again! I feel good. I'm putting 2/2 on food 'cause I didn't get enough vitamins, but I had 25% from fat and 1400 calories, when my limit's 1700.

1400 cals eaten - 400 exercise (lots today!) = 1000 net cals.

2200 to maintain weight - 1000 net cals = 1200 net cals lost! :O wow! hallelujah.

I'm a little hungry, so I may eat, but it'll be just a little if I do. Still, about 1000 cals burned today, which is awesome!

whoohoo this is my wrimo journal for 2004!
