No, I haven't forgotten . . .

For those of you wondering if I've fallen off the bandwagon already, I'm still here!  I've just had some stuff crop up in my life recently that has kept me away from long stretches at the computer.  Which, it's good that I'm not at the computer for long stretches, but it's not so good that I'm also not getting long stretches of sleep and today I've gone long stretches where the slightest little bit of food is making me want to . . . well, you know.  Rest assured, readers, that I haven't strayed from the dietary straight-and-narrow, with the exception of today.  And that's not even in the sense that I'm over-indulging or eating stuff I'm not supposed to.  It's the fact that I'm just . . . not eating.  The only thing I've consumed all day is one Special K protein shake under Mom's strict orders.  I know, I need to eat more (and believe me, I would love to), but if a food source that isn't even solid made me pull over and aim my hurl machine at the bushes, I'm not sure I want to try much else.

I'll pull a catch-up day here pretty soon.  You'll get to see that I have been a good girl in absence of my blog posts.  I've still been recording my meals in the hard copy of my journal.  Oh, and by the way, I'm meeting with Justin tomorrow.  Hopefully my stomach likes the idea of holding onto whatever I give it by morning.

And there's been something I've been meaning to share with you guys for a really long time.  Whenever I need to check the nutrition facts on something, and I'm not sure what they were for whatever reason (such as the product didn't have a label), I go to www.calorieking.com.  They've got a great food search program on there that allows you to find nutrition facts on pretty much anything.  It's a great way to track how much you're eating.  I know the common idea is that tracking calories, proteins, carbs, fats, fiber, sugar, etc. is a major pain, but I'm finding that it's not.  It's only too much work if you think it's too much work.  I find that the more discipline I have with keeping tabs on what (as well as how much of what) I'm eating, the less likely I am to slip up and the more determined I am to stay focused.  Hopefully Calorie King helps you like it's been helping me!




So, how has your nutritional plan been going?  (Notice I didn't say "diet."  Isn't that so politically correct of me?  :D)
