My Food Diaries

Every weight loss advice I read has something about keeping a food diary. So I tried my hand at various versions - in an actual diary, a notebook, in a spreadsheet, and even in document form. Got bored after some time for each type of diary.

Then a few days ago, I hit this brilliant idea - why not blog it away, especially since I have wanted a subject to blog (write) regularly with. This could be a creative way to list down everything I eat and improve my writing skills at the same time. Now all I need to do is to ensure that I write regularly… with my history, I need lots of luck with that.

So let’s start with yesterday… 25th July 2008

Breakfast was a tasty fried egg (less oil) with two pieces of whole wheat bread, a glass of water, and cup of tea. Yummy! Lunch was a takeaway… half a spicy chicken and spinach enchilada, half serving of hot pepper chicken, and half a serving of hot and spicy prawns. Of course, I also had the half cup of raw vegetable salad and two scoops of ice cream.

In the evening, I had this drink called thandai. It is made from milk, spices, and dry fruit. I also had a 1 chocolate chip biscuit (not cookie). Dinner was two pieces of whole wheat bread and 1 cup of homemade chicken curry cooked with 1 tsp of oil. Yessss! I cooked it. Hee hee. That was followed up by one scoop of ice cream.

Ok. Now that I read it, this is too much for my extremely sedentary lifestyle but then my sister was here. So I had an excuse. The same excuse holds partially true for today too - but I have tried not to indulge too much. Will see how I fare tomorrow. (Still have to see if I am able to hold out and not have dinner today.)

Ciao!
