Daily Food Diary

I'm wondering how do you plan your daily food diary? Do you fill them out the moment you get something to eat? Or do you fill them out at night time for tomorrow?

I know there's apps or websites that you can go to and fill them out etc.. but I like doing it in my own food diary book where I write them down. I feel they are better for me. That way I don't have to get back to computer again and again to update the foods I have ate. I just carry the food diary book with me all the time.

I don't stay on computer ALL DAY. I get on in the morning and then around lunch time and then one at night time before I go bed.

So tell me about yours. How do you do your food diary? On website? Or your own book? and how do you plan yours at night time or the moment you have the food in your hand and you write them down?

I do always write my "tomorrow" food diary every night so that I can stay with this and stay in my daily calories. I just follow what my food diary says! Know what I mean?

Hope you can understand at what I was trying to say and ask about this.

Thanks!

Preparing my food diary for tomorrow :-)

I am who I am... Me, Myself and I

My birthday was good. I just wish there wasn't any raining on my birthday today! Hard to believe I'm actually 35 year old! Where did the time went?! I thought about rewards for my weight loss for every 10 pounds, get a small reward to help keep me motivation and keep up with it so for the 14 pounds I have lost since March 7th, I got some new hair accessories so that I can fix my hair in different ways, not just the ponytail all the time. I want to feel so special all the time. I want to be who I am whether you like it or not. That's me and I'll do whatever I want with myself that I'll be happy with it. Also for past several months I did feel like I didn't want to post any new pictures of myself bec of weight issues and too embarrassed to show that which is why you see a lot of my past pictures that always shows mostly of my children or hubby but not much of me. So I thought a lot after I had a talk with a friend of mine last week and I thought hmm, It doesn't matter about how I look or how I do etc.. I am Amy. I am me. I have to learn to love myself for who I am and just be myself and not care what people thinks of me and if they don't like me or how I looks, then fine. Just go away and I don't care. I just want them to accept me for who I am not for something they wants me to be that they prefer. I want to lose my weight and get healthy for me. Not for anyone. Just for me, myself and I , so that I can live longer and be more active better for my kids and my future grand children. This is why I'm starting posting pictures of me lately. I'm proud of be who I am!

My sister's dog, Kira was giving me a kiss. :-)

Weight Day

Hello ! Been a busy day for me. I went to see my doctor today for a follow up visit. I only lost 1 pound today. So total since March 7th I have lost is 14lbs. Really 1-2 pounds a week is normal and healthy amount to lose. I think I'm going to try increase my exercise time.

I'm posting a couple pictures that was taken from yesterday. So nice sunset! The kids are mine and hubby's. I have two sons age 14 and 13 from my previous relationship. I have two step children (my hubby's children) age 12 and 11. They lives with us. So on the picture - my oldest son isn't there bec he was staying at home. So we enjoyed walking down the path together. Really enjoyed!

So Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 35! I'll not be doing anything fun but to stay home with my family on my birthday.

It's getting late so I better get ready to go bed.
