Finding it hard to remember to blog lately

I made this goal to blog daily when I began this new 'get healthy' program - and I was successful for the first couple of weeks - lately, I haven't either been remembering to enter it or I have been way too tired. I want to really put forth a greater effort to write here because I think it's important to. I feel I am getting the hang of finding ways to keep within my allottment of calories, carbs, fat and protein. The hardest part seems to be keeping my fat up and my carb down. What can I day? I'm a carbs girl! :-) I have learned to play around with the things I eat if my meals add up to more than they should. For instance, at breakfast, they tend to give me more than I can comfortably eat - so, I will take some of that breakfast portion and have it for a snack a couple of hours after breakfast. That way I am still getting in my calories, etc, and don't have to worry about having two snacks listed for the day. The one thing that bothers me, though, is that I don't know if I am getting in enough fruit. I love fruit and feel it's important to get a few servings a day. It is often listed at breakfast and for one snack, but not so much during the rest of the day. I like to have at least three a day, so I am trying to fit an extra one in without going over my calories, etc. One thing that shocked me is how many calories and carbs there are in a banana - they suggest to eat half a banana, but who eats half a banana - they would go yucky :-) So, when they suggest a banana, I have a whole one and just cut down somewhere else. I have become much more aware of the calories, etc. in foods - even to the point where I was checking that info on my friend's lunch food the other day. :-) It's good to be aware, but at the same time, I need to make sure that I don't go crazy over all this stuff. Moderation in all things is a good saying to go by. Having said that, I am hoping that when I get on the scales this morning, that I am down five pounds so that I can buy a chocolate bar when I walk up to the store this morning. :-)
