Obviously I lost steam on my food journal. One meal was more than enough. Sometimes I have trouble when I get too detail-oriented; it becomes a massive project and then I don't want to do it anymore. The long and the short of it is that I'm struggling a bit right now because all I want is carbs - lovely, heavy carbohydrates. I am like this every winter... perhaps all people who live in cold areas are. I am in serious hibernation mode. However, hopefully I will get out of it and back onto the cooking and eating healthy train... right after I have another peanut butter and banana sandwich...

Food journaling seems like it would be good for me to do right now as I finally get back into training. I am eating quite a bit of beans these days, which is lots of fun. I'm trying to cut down on my wheat-based foods and soy products, while increasing my beans and rice combinations. So far it is going pretty well. So maybe I'll start the food journal right now.
