After keeping track of my calorie intake, I was able to really observe my eating habits. I

knew that I had some eating habits, but I don’t think I understood just how often I did these

habits. While keeping track, I noticed that I have some patterns. I don’t pack lunches often to

work so I end up eating out quite often: mostly at Wendy’s because it’s on the corner. My

biggest problem is soda because I drink it so frequently. It really is probably one of the worst

things to put in your body, but I find it so addicting. It’s convenient because it’s so close and

cheap that I often go eat there but it is definitely stacking on calories throughout the week. Also,

I need to work on eating more solid meals at decent times instead of eating whenever I get
hungry. I also noticed that the longer I wait to eat, the more I eat and the worse foods I tend to

eat.

After making these observations, I do really want to work on creating a healthier diet. I

know that I can prepare meals and bring them to work with me, so I don’t feel the need to eat bad

things so often. Starting with the morning, juicing is a great way to start the day. Juicing is

completely healthy, and I will be getting in all my fruits in with one hit! Juices are great because

they fill you up without causing you to be bloated unnaturally full. I will take a banana with me

just in case I get hungry before lunch. For lunch, a great meal would be a chicken ceaser salad,

with just a hint of croutons. It will have plenty of romaine lettuce, grilled chicken breast, some

corn, and some avocado. For dinner, I will have chicken breast with veggies such as broccoli and

zucchini.

One big goal I have for myself is to kick the habit of drinking soda. I have quit before,

but I always give back into it. It definitely is a horrible habit to have and I want to kick it for

good. Getting rid of this habit will also help keep my calorie count low and will help me lose a

few pounds.

My next goal is to stop eating out for a month. I will push myself to cook my meals and

prepare them for the week. All it takes is time and effort and I know that I can do it once I really

put my mind to it. I will be sure to include protein and vegetables. I know that I will also start to

feel better as well.

My final goal will be to snack on healthier food items. I notice that I tend to fall towards

chips and cookies as my snack when I get hungry. I will fix this by swapping that with fruit and

nuts. Almonds are a great snack so I will be trying to incorporate that into my daily calorie

intake.
