Reddit reviews Diet & Fitness Journal: Your Personal Guide to Optimum Health (Diary, Exercise) (Little Black Journals)

Went dining at a Greek restaurant the other day where I'm a regular. I usually go here after my Crossfit session, however this hasn't been frequent this month due to Ramadan & being on-call for June. I order my gyros, a sparkling water, and get logging in my diary.

A family of 6 is sat next to me who proceed to give the waitstaff hell. Taking ages to order stuff, receiving starters, taking little bites then sending it back to the kitchen saying its bad, complaining about the type of bread, asking for pasta options (you're at a Greek restaurant?) and what not. Then the conversation they were having when they were eating was just too much. Amongst other things, the parent telling their two sons that if they ended up being gay they should find another house to live in. One mother talking to either her sister or SIL about how she's been on a juice cleanse but they never work. That the country was stupid for imposing the Ramadan fast on people staying in their country who aren't Muslim. (I live in Dubai, I'm not Muslim, but I've coped pretty well over the last 10 years.)

The worst was that they were loud. Not just to me sitting next door, but other diners were hearing them as well. I really do try to ignore them, so I finish my gyros ASAP and just focus on logging whilst finishing the water.

One of the waitstaff asks me what I'm working on, I tell him it's my food and fitness diary to track my progress. For those of you who are curious it's this one. I usually order the gyros from there because it's one of the few dine-out treats that fit well into my numbers for the day. Then the parent from before interrupts us, wants to know about it, where I go to the gym. I told her I do Crossfit. She asks where and if she can lose weight there (she would be borderline obese) I told her that there are about 20 Crossfit gyms in this city, and losing weight is not why I go.

I just wanted to eat my gyros & log in peace....

I need the grocery list as well, and with adderall I tend to forget to eat so I started a food journal so I can track my calories and nutrients.

I highly recommend any of the Jokari brand kitchen tools. It looks like only a few of them are available on .ca, but they are all portion control tools. Very, very useful.

Here, here, and here are some that I found on .ca site.

You could also go with something like a diet and fitness journal.

I make my own luck .right. item
