Craig,

How exciting that you want to journal! Your post just made me smile. I know that it is easier for me to do things when I actually see results, so your observation about lower energy level is...well, I think it's really wonderful.

Enjoy!

: I've been doing step 1 for about
: three weeks now, and I am moving
: to step 2. I had been having
: better energy throughout my
: workdays since adding the protein
: to my breakfast. Two nights ago my
: wife had a meeting. It struck me
: that she could stop and pick up an
: ice cream treat on the way home.
: The next day at work, my energy
: level was probably 30-40% lower.

: Was it because of this ice cream? It
: probably had something to do with
: it. But the point is, I want to
: know! I have never been more ready
: to start exploring the
: cause-effect relationship of what
: I eat and how I feel. I'll be
: honest. When I first read the
: book, I rolled my eyes at the
: thought of trying to do a food
: journal. I was dead-set against
: it. But now, I WANT to do it. I
: want to learn the cause-effect
: relationships of what I eat and
: how I feel. Because that will
: motivate me to change further, and
: it will give me knowledge and
: control. Control is a good thing!
