No posts for a while…

seems that when I get busy, the first thing to go is not only my food journal, but my diet!

Actually, didn’t do that poorly this past week.  Kept up a Zonish diet for the most part…  I tend to not eat enough.  Take TODAY for example… need more snacks!

OK, here it goes.  I haven’t kept a food journal in about 10 years.  Haven’t really had the need… or desire…

That said… you guys that are doing it have inspired me!

I’ll promise that:

I’ll be honest.
I’ll keep it up to date.
It will be Zone(ish) (zone as much as possible.
It definitely won’t be perfect.
It might not be pretty.
It could even be ugly.
