Today's entry 11/18/14

The truth is, I overate.  This just means that I have eaten and drank over the calorie limit.   I followed, or at least try to follow, the proposed menu.  I almost did with the chicken tomato stew.  This stew was a thick stew with chicken, tomatoes, and loads of vegetables such as corn, green bell peppers, onions, and lima beans.  I don't feel guilty about what I ate, yet I realize that I should have not consumed the white rice, which is not as healthy as brown rice.  I guess there will be tomorrow.

Entry for 11/17/14

So the bad news is that I gained some weight.  Granted, it wasn't substantial, but I gained weight. Since this morning I have consumed many fruits and vegetables such as beans, oranges, stewed vegetables, asparagus and sweet peas.  It is not often that I consume fruits and vegetables in such a large amount.  Therefore, I am proud of myself today.  I have consumed at least 7 or 8 servings of fruit and vegetables.  So far, I have consumed 1426 calories today.  I have just consumed about 1.5 cup of beans just now.  I have always wanted to consumed more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. I don't feel guilty about what I ate today overall but I was not perfect as I consumed sweetened corn flakes with reduced fat milk.  That I admit was not healthy.  I have learned from this as I wish I have eaten either unsweetened corn flakes or some brown rice.  But it is too late to cry over spilled milk.

Improved eating habits

So far, things have gotten butter.  Things are not perfect, but have gotten better.  I wonder if there is a link between procrastination, self-esteem issues, and food.  There may be emotional eating on my part.  However, I consumed almost 5 fruits and vegetables ranging from apples to pineapples, to cabbage.  However, I still have a ways to go with my food intake.  I am still not sure if I should change how my entries are written.  I mentioned that I have gotten a bit lazy with them and I would like to change that.
