Hello everybody. This is the official announcement for our first book club. We have chosen the book Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton. We plan on meeting for our discussion on Friday Jan 2nd at Cathy’s house. Hope you all enjoy the read and I’m looking forward to getting together. (Laurie, you MAY NOT substitute the movie for the book!!)

The Food Diary
Write it down…it works!
Recording your food intake allows you a very objective look at the REAL quantity and quality of food you are eating. We often feel we are doing everything right, however, when you take the time to accurately record the portions of ALL food you eat, it almost always tells us that your calorie intake is above the amount of calories you need to lose weight and obtain your weight loss goals – or even just your goals of healthier eating.
If you are feeling frustrated, this exercise can really give you some insight. Accurately measure your food portions, record what time you ate, and how you were feeling when you ate (i.e. hungry, sad, bored, upset, etc). Plug your intake into a food processing program – for example Mypyramid.com.
