Using a set of adhesive magnets, I created a Nutrition Tracking System. So, I decided to come up with a simple solution for knowing what I should eat each day and tracking the portions to lose weight… hopefully FAST.

With a house full of children and a long list of responsibilities, do you have time for counting calories? Me neither. 2) I watched my portions to keep my calories low. The only times I have been successful with weight loss I did two things: 1) I ate what I wanted when I wanted it. How can I lose weight without counting calories? I like variety and will pick through the freezer or refrigerator, mixing and matching whatever is available that no one else will eat. My children are perfectly content to eat cereal for breakfast and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch… every day. I skip those food groups and tell myself that my sacrifice is saving us money.ģ) I eat whatever is convenient because I fail to plan for breakfast and lunch. I have trained myself to save the healthier options (fruit and vegetables) for Bill and the children. I’m too busy feeding myself for too many reasons other than nutrition.Ģ) I eat whatever is leftover to save money. I don’t know if my stomach ever really growls. If I analyze myself, I know several things that inhibit appropriate food choices.ġ) I eat for every reason under the sun. I will lay my head down and make plans to eat healthy the next day only to forget my aspirations with the dawn. If I were to count my calories, I would have to estimate something around the 2,000 to 2,200 calorie mark. When the day is over, I cannot tell you what I have eaten. I will also munch while I prepare dinner and then fill up my plate to the brim with whatever I have fixed for the family. Around the time that Bill gets home, I will realize that I have not had anything but two cups of coffee to drink. I will also suck up whatever chocolate is available. And, please, do not ask me to count calories.Ī typical days food assortment for me includes coffee, maybe a bowl of cereal, whatever is leftover that the children will not eat, and a large portion of dinner. I double stink at eating a balanced diet. This month, the challenge is to eat a balanced assortment of foods each day, being mindful of the portions, and to drink 8 fluid ounces of water, 8 times a day. As a part of the Healthy Family Project, I mentioned what I am doing to regain health and wellness as a busy, homeschooling mom of four.
