Time to Take Note

by Kris Pitcher

My relationship with food has been a long and evolutionary one. It's developed over the last 17 years, and become very refined over the last 5 years. I certainly don't expect people to eat the way I eat. Having said that there may be some things that you can pay attention to in order to get you where you want to be. It's really all based on what you want, on your desired outcome. There's no more difficult time to be paying attention to this, at the same time there's no better time to have your eyes wide open.

And a fair place to start is reflecting on your intake. Do you need to eat more food? Do you need to eat less food, or different foods? Do you have any idea what you're eating or how much? It's time to take note...and literally I mean take notes. Write down everything that passes your lips for 3 days. Write down what time it is, what you ate and how much. This is the ostrich head in the sand piece of your wellness, it's keeping you from success. What do you do with your three days of information?

Some of you have a pretty good idea of what you should be doing...you just haven't quite been doing it. Others can look at your notes and recognize where you can make better choices. And many just need a plan. You can work with a nutritional coach like Jacques at Team Pitcher to build you a nutritional plan and give you the accountability you need. A professional can look at your nutrient breakdown, see where you may have deficiencies and balance out your plan.

You will know when you're ready to take this step. You'll know when you're sick and tired of making excuses, of feeling out of control...of sticking your head in the sand. Your relationship with food is also evolutionary...get your pen out it's time to take note.
