Ph”ood” Journaling

Jump to Comments

Wow, things have been a little crazy around here lately and I am afraid the blog was backburnered a bit but I haven’t stopped working on things and I have been thinking about ways to make this blog more useful for myself as well as fun to read.

The one thing that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about is Ph”ood” journaling, as in taking pictures of the food you eat instead of writing it down. I really like this idea for a few reasons. Reason number one is I am lazy and it is faster to snap a picture rather then write things down. Reason number two is that photos are honest about what is on the plate, I can’t misremember just how much lasagna I really ate when I am writing things down at the end of the day (cause I forget to write things down at the time). And last but not least some folks at the University of Wisconsin are finding that it may be more effective the writing everything down. So, I have decided that I am going to give it a try for a few weeks and post my pics up in the evening.

The idea is not so much to eat less but rather to get an idea of what  I am eating and from there make adjustments. It is time to find out just have many veggies I am REALLY eating. Our brains are so good at fooling us, even when we don’t want it to, the camera has no bias. So starting this weekend I will start posting pics, so I suggest you eat lunch first so the blog doesn’t make you hungry.

For now here is some Rhubarb Ginger Cream Pie I made a couple weeks ago.
