Last year, I noticed that how out of shape I've gotten. Therefore, I set a goal to get myself into my ideal shape and long term goal is to get my six packs out. I know only doing exercises and workout aren't going to help me achieve that goal, I know I need to tackle from diet as well.
Being able to get into this class was a great help and start toward my goal. My reflection for my 1st food journal was I definitely started paying attention to what I eat and having awareness of what I put into my mouth. I am having more meals at home than going out compare to last year, so this is a good start as well.
I found that preparing meal at home has a lot of merits. The biggest one I like a lot is portion control. Ever since I moved to the USA, I noticed everything here is served in HUGE portion. Sometimes, I can take a restaurant meal back home and still split it into two more meals. My short-term goal for the next month is to completely stop eating on campus as food choices on campus aren't that great. I would start creating menu for me to bring a lunch box to campus for a long day of classes or work.
Also, I would like to start trying making variety of dishes to increase the menu choices in my mind. Perhaps I should start referring to the cook book that I bought 2 years ago but barely read it.
Lastly, I am proud of myself for ordering something listed as "600 calories or below" on the menu which I don't think I ever did it before.
