Food Journal Revisited

How can we become more food conscious? Well the answer is simple. Keeping a daily food journal is one way to watch what you eat. Can you even remember everything you ate yesterday? Or the day before? What about that one cookie you had between every meal? Well... that cookie has now become 5 within one day.

You wouldn't think about it, but keeping a food journal and writing down everything you ate will help you become more food conscious. I'm not a nutritionist or a dietitian so I can't tell you what not to eat, but I am sure you can realize what's good and what's bad for you!
(Here's a tip the next time you go grocery shopping. To avoid bad processed foods, shop on the outside area's of your local grocery store. Did you know that most of the processed foods are in the middle aisles.)

So if you decide to make your own journal, go to a cheap dollar store and grab a note book. Write things down like what you ate, the size (or even the number of cookies you ate!), what time you ate it and just simple things like that!

Good luck! I will keep you up to date with my food journaling!
