Bye Bye

Ok, I am shutting down this blog for a couple of reasons that I will not go into tonight.  You can still follow my regular blogs over at www.melissabufford.com and I promise to post a blog that explains why I decided not to continue on with the food intervention in the next few days.  :(

Till then Dear Friends!

Is anyone out there?

Have you guys missed me? 

Ok, tomorrow I really really promise to be back on track!  Yesterday, I just flat out didn't take pictures of my food.  Hubby was home with me all day, and well it made it more difficult to get to the camera and the computer to post, and then today, I woke up feeling all icky, and the truth is, I didn't really eat much.  I did take a picture of my peanut butter on toast this AM and my chicken noodle soup that i only had 2 spoonfuls of and stopped eating.  I think because I have been eating very fresh lately (although still too much ;))  That I just could not handle the salty taste of the canned soup!  It was horrible!  I ended up eating a couple handfuls of my kids gold fish.  I drank a lot of Vernors (bad) and then I didn't eat again until like 7:30 pm (double bad)  I went out and grabbed subway.  Oh, I DID get on the computer half way through the day to upload pictures, and while uploading the battery died, and I just never got around to plugging it in. 

So that is that.  A bunch of excuses, but it is what it is! ;) 

I am hoping to feel much better, I took a dose of Activate, which is a supplement that is supposed to boost your immune system, so I am hoping that is kicking myself into gear.  I have great plans for this week, and I was super bummed that I could not get them started today.  Tomorrow is a new day though. 

Here's to feeling better!  Ta-Ta for now food intervention readers!

And life gets in the way...

so this morning we wake up and I start to making the kids breakfast.  Maddie is very clear about the fact that she wants "bread".  Not toast, or oatmeal, her usual requests.  So I butter some bread and set it infront of the kiddos and Maddie does not eat- she puts her head down on the table.  I am in the process of grilling up some turkey bacon.  She eventually comes over to me looking so sullen and asks me to hold her.  I can tell something is very wrong, so I oblige, and go sit down with her.  Well, to cut to the chase, she ends up puking all over me!  UGH!  I had planned to make myself a breakfast burrito- something that will look real nice on camera.  Needless to say, my appetite was GONE!  I really didn't want to eat anything, but I knew I needed to, so I did end up having 2 pieces of the bacon, but I forgo the entire breakfast burrito!  Anyhow, here is my day so far in food pictures...

Had 2 cups of coffee w/skim and blue agave syrup

I only ate 2 pieces

Chicken wrap with cheese, veggies on the side. 

Of course, water

sorry the pictures are all messed up, I will figure this out later, and update with calories.  

My Food Intervention!

I cannot believe what I have decided to do.  I really, really CAN'T!

I am constantly told, journal your food, track your calories, write down every bite that goes into your mouth!  UGH!  I am SOO sick of hearing it!  And, the truth is, I just don't do it. I don't write down every bite, I am just not honest with myself, about what I am really eating and how much.  So here is my new plan!

I am going to take a photo of everything I eat, and post it on here daily.  That is right.  Lunch, breakfast, snacks, dinner, etc.  I just KNOW if I have to be honest with all of YOU that I will make better choices.  I will eat less, I will eat healthier, and at the same time, I will be honest.  If I am going to have something bad, knowing that I have to post it on here means that I will be totally ok with eating that bad thing.  And if I am totally ok with it, than that is one thing.  I love my pizza, you will see me eating pizza a lot probably.  I love coke, I might have one or two, or a beer or so.  The one thing I promise all of YOU is that I will post EVERY thing I put into my mouth via a picture starting tomorrow.

AHHHHH!  Am I crazy????  Ok, DON'T Answer that!  :)  :)
