Sleep and Food Mood Journal Roll

Wow, because of this journal, I want to eat less so I don't have to record that much. I'll provide the accompanying pictures of my new eating adventures in the next post. For now, take a look at how commitments and social gatherings really do me in with my eating habits. Plus, I didn't reach 10k steps every day in the last 5 days. I had instances of over-sleeping and under-sleeping. Ironically, in both scenarios, I tend to eat more throughout the day.

I will find ways to balance good sleep, hydrating, eating, and staying more active this week.
