Miranda said...This is a great thing. I just recently began my food journal and it does stop you from a lot of naughty indulgences. I also like reflecting on the last week enteries when I have my dreaded weekly weight in's...what could i have done differenly? Is there anything that I should cut out of my diet? Should I be eating more fruit, veggies, grains, etc? Awsome post! Just a nice little confirmation for me that I'm on the right track!
