I have to brag about something :)
So I ran my 15 minutes today. It was harder than last Saturday as I had been running for 3 days already but it was not as hard as I thought. I think I can be up to 30 minutes by the end of the month. I got myself a thingy that measure up my heart beats and tells me according to what I am aiming at if I am running too fast. I should get it next week I think :)
I don't keep a set track of my calories because I know what I eat and that I am always below my calory range but to make it more clear here is what I had:
Morning breakfast: home made fruit juice with one orange, Five strawberries, a little ginger and some more vitamins.
Lunch with rice snacks and my veggies which were salsify and potatoes and a banana.
Now I am starving and I am about to make myself some rice noodles with cheese or any veggie I can get my hand on and that can fill my stomach.
10 points+1+1+1=13
I can't tell if I will have eaten 2 hours before going to bed cause I am both starving and exhausted and I know I am going to bed pretty soon.
What is a food journal?
And no, I can't drink water either (I saw your comments on FB) because I have the bladder of a mouse. If I drink what I am supposed to I won't be able to sleep or function normally. I may drink what I am supposed to tomorrow since I don't think I will be outside except for running and then Aïkido in the evening.
Your turn
Oh oh ooh oh I was about to forget that I got myself a nice "Chinese grappe fruit". I don't know what the name in english but this is how we call them. I loooooooooooove it.
Good thing I just remember, I am going to eat a piece to wait until my dinner is ready.

I have never seen one of those before!!! hmmm. Chinese grapefruit sounds like a good description to me.
Your food journal is basically what you just did, noting down what you ate. Some people go further and describe what their emotions were like that day as well, this can help them get a handle on why they eat, esp. if they're emotional eaters. It can also be just logging your food choices and tallying up the calories so you know whether you're coming in under your goal.
Looks like you're off to a great start!
Chinese grape fruit IS NOT bitter at all and just a piece of it is like a serving of fruit because they are so big. Also what I like about it is that you have not only to peal them like an orange but you have to peal the thinner layer that we usually eat and that keeps the inner part together. when you peal it the flesh of the fruit (do you use the word "flesh"?) does not fall apart. It is really a fun fruit to eat and just one will last a week at least.
Once you have removed the first and thicker layer you may keep the fruit in its thinner layer to protect it in your fridge, you may also preserve it in a box or wrap it in something. It is all up to you.
OH! and the best part is that you don't need to throw the thick layer right away because it naturally absorb odors, so you can just leave it on your counter as long as it does not show any bad sign.
I have done it and it works beautifully.
It looks like some sort of mango and I love mangos.
i want Chinese Grapefruit, too!!!
I love regular grapefuits, too, though :) i have some of them in my kitchen right now ♥
