So here's this week's challenge, keep track of what you ACTUALLY eat and how it makes you feel. This activity will teach you about yourself and will highlight what changes you might want to make. I remember doing this in grade 6 and to this day I can remember being shocked at how many times I had pizza in a week. Pizza is delicious but when you see you've eaten it for lunch 4 times and dinner 3 times in one week .... woa. Give this a shot over the next few days, maybe even over the holidays. See what you find out about yourself and what you are fuelling yourself with!!

Time to track it ladies!!
Wow, ladies (and Mr. Cheney) thank you for all the comments. I am sorry I've been out of the loop for a while- busy times. It seems all of you definitely have food to eat and you do eat, that's great. I conclude, however, that your timing is off and you need to train your bodies to take food in regularly. Right now, you are young and your bodies can take the beating. As you get older (and your moms will tell you), it's important to use food as fuel and regularly fill your tank. When people don't eat regularly (when they are older), they tend to eat lots all at once which can make a person feel very uncomfortable and can lead to unwanted weight gain (not something you need to worry about right now, just an info bit to remember for later!). The other issue is that without regular food during the day you are not giving your brain and muscles the fuel they need to run at full steam (please excuse my car and train analogies, but hopefully you catch my drift!). My hope is that you can develop good habits NOW so later you will know how to keep yourself well fed and well fuelled.
