Journal Entry #11

 For this weeks journal entry, I monitored and recorded my personal consumption for 24-hours.  

When I finished this... 

I was S-H-O-C-K-E-D at how much I ate!!!

My morning started out with a cappuccino to get me going :)  Some mornings I will drink a glass of milk or I might drink a soda if I'm tired :(

Typically I'm running too late to eat breakfast at home, but this morning I did :)  I had a bowl of Eggo Cereal.

While at work, I try to drink as much water as possible :) I snacked on some wheat thin crackers and a candy bar before lunch.

For lunch, I ate a frozen dinner :)  I typically snack throughout the afternoons because I work 10-hour days. 

When I got home, I had a soda and a small bag of chips while I started making dinner.  

For dinner we ate turkey burgers on the grill with a ranch pasta salad. **YUMMY**

We had a pound cake for dessert about an hour later.  

After dessert, we watched tv and got ready for bed.  

Throughout the day, I probably drank around 5 glasses of water, but I am actively trying to do better.  

After looking at everything I ate and drank, I realize that I am not eating all my required nutrients throughout the day...not even close! Starting today, I am going to start being more aware of my food intake and what I should be eating daily.  I have printed out a food pyramid and put it on my desk at work and on my fridge at home!
