    I've been toying with the idea of keeping a food journal for a while now and I reckon doing it here is the only way I'll stick to it. I'm not really sure what I think it will achieve. Hopefully it'll make me feel bad about eating badly and maybe see some patterns.

    I am 28, female, 5 foot 5 and usually 126 pounds (it varies but that's a good average)

    I'm going to start this week from memory and then post every few days, with the previous few days diet and exercise.

    2 slices of rye bread toasted with butter
    Snack 11:00

    One week since my first post. Not the greatest start but I was in hospital for a routine procedure on Monday which left me wrecked for the next few days. Had no idea it would take that much out of me. Diet wasn't the worst all week, but I had very little energy and spent much of the week in bed.

    So I'm back on track now.
    Yesterday:
    Breakfast 8:30
    Porridge, yogurt and banana

    Snack 11:30
    Handful of nuts and raisins

    Lunch 14:00
    Naked Beans brand Curry Beans

    Snack 17:00
    3 oak crackers and cottage cheese

    Dinner 20:00
    Home-made pork curry with basmati rice - big portion, too big really, but then I always eat too big a dinner....need to control this.

    One gin and tonic at about 10 O’ Clock.

    Need to start getting back into exercise. I do a lot of walking in summer but haven’t been great in the last month or so.

    Have bought small weights and will do some research to find arm exercises that I can do at home.

    That is next week’s resolution.
