Eating habits, week 1
Nov. 9th, 2009 10:56 amI wanted to take a look for about a month (or 3 weeks considering the last week of this month I'll be on vacation) at my eating habits. This meant noting everything I ate and putting it up on my LJ (funny enough, when I was tempted to eat something I shouldn't have, the idea of writing it down and sharing made the impulse go away *grins*). I'm not on any diet right now but I wanted to see what I was eating, point out any issues and maybe get on a better track. First the write up and then notes on how the week went.
( Week 1 )
Thoughts:
1. I listed everything on here, that I ate or drank. Uh. I might want to add water in my routines...o.O (7 days straight without one glass of water, whoops.)
2. As I thought, my weekends are hell on my eating habits. I have structure during my workweek because of work and my hours - I get in, I eat breakfast. I eat a snack at noon because I don't go to lunch until 2. I eat lunch at 2 and I'm normally good through 6 or 7.
On the weekends, I sleep in until between 9-10:30, depending on the morning, so that by the time I'm up, dressed and thinking about food I go with lunch. I'm not much of a snacker but it did mean that on Saturday, when dinner came around, I was famished enough to have seconds which I've managed to mostly stop doing. And I have poor impulse control when it comes to sweets that I've purchased, though I won't graze. (It might sound weird but I don't. If I buy cupcakes, I'll eat them. But I won't go into the kitchen and hunt around for food. It's why I generally stick to my grocery list and don't put food that's easily grazeable on it. Or if I do, it's healthy.)
Ideas: For the love of god, woman, hydrate! Look at putting more eating structure into the weekend - reintroduce eating breakfast on the weekend, maybe a snack.
