The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.. keeping a record of everything I eat to inspire me to be ever-conscious about what goes into my body, to look for holes, to inspire more research, to motivate me to get rid of unhealthy habits, and to become accountable to my choices.

This post goes hand-in-hand with the following post (too big to have on the one page)

Food Diary Prelude

My health focus this week: Convenience

This week is going to be a busy one.. but I’ll still keep myself accountable with my food diary. Last week was “joint health” week and I no longer feel pain in my legs, but I can’t say if it was the diet (I doubt things work that fast), the ‘intention’ behind the week (more likely) or the rest period (just as likely) that resolved the problem. This week I was intending on making “teeth health” week, but after looking at the ingredients required, most (90%) of them are not locally available to me. I just got my work roster, and I’m all over the place this week, so I guess this week can be “Convenience” focused. Let’s see if I can still eat healthy while eating a lot on the run.

Sunday 16th Feb 2014

lamb-salad-dutchcarrots
Weather Check: Cool 19°C
Mood Check: Lethargic, Fatigued, Zombie, Back of Head heaviness, shoulder-pain.. “bleh”
Sleep Check: 2 Hours
Activities: Couldn’t sleep last night and had to work this morning, so I think the lack of sleep has “won” me over today and done a number on my body. I just feel lousy. My nephew is excited about something in the sandpit and I’m in a “don’t really care” response, instead of my normal joining in of whatever excitement he is happy about. I had 2 juices in the morning at work and after work, and that got me through but then I bought a piece of Flake & some chips from the fish’n’chip shop cos I just couldn’t be bothered preparing anything, and that made me worse. After eating it, I fell asleep on the couch and could barely move for hours. I haven’t improved at all after the sleep. So I think I can just discount this day and take it as a life lesson. Get decent sleep. Eat decent food. Or you will feel like crap. Penny, you hear that? “You are what you eat and you did this to yourself” :)
