You get used to it

Today marks the 600th day I’ve kept a food log. Yep, 600 days. Not all in a row – there was a few months in there that I either didn’t care or couldn’t or what not. But it’s been the best way I’ve found to eat better.

The first time I tried it was for a health class that I took by correspondence in high school. I think I took the class via correspondence because I was otherwise overbooked. It was pretty easy stuff, but for one unit I had to write down everything I ate. Wow, does that change things. (Being held accountable will do that.) I’ve been applying that logic for 600 days now! (With regular off days, of course. Everything in moderation, of course, including moderation.)

This is one of my favorite new podcasts. Two funny ladies talking about being more kind to the earth during your everyday life!!

I sent them (Dori and Val) an e-mail recently to request that they cover green funerals in a future show (I first saw the concept in an episode of Six Feet Under, and wouldn’t you know it, Jed and I’d been taking care of “that sort of paperwork.”) Anyway, I did get a reply and they’ll be covering it soon on their podcast.
