Hi,
good luck with your fresh start! 30 punds is great. I bet you can be back on track soon.
Eat that breakfast! Starting the day with a metabolism boost makes SO MUCH difference!

Hey Girlfriend No Iffs About It **********You Are Going To Keep This Up To The Very End************ I Am Here And Will Make It Top Priority To Hit Your Journal Everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
woot! I feel so good about the choices I have been making... I was grocery shopping today - wanted to grill out b/c of the fantastic weekend and was going to get hotdogs... WAY too much fat/calories... so I decided to try the smartdogs (veggie hotdogs) which were only 80 cals a piece and no fat... they don't have quite the same texture, but eh... a hotdog is all mush anyways! and I saved like 300 fat calories right there!!!

OH! and you guys have GOT to find some frozen yogurt... the stuff i picked up today is caramel pecan! (130 cals, only 30 fat cals per serving) - I mean, you just can't do much better - and it really does taste good! Maybe the first time it was a bit funny/unusual - but now i can't tell that i'm not eating the real deal... mmmm....

lol - i'm having a great day... and my butt hurts from exercise yesterday and that feels FANTASTIC =)

well - the mac n cheese wasn't quite planned... but we did use a LOT less butter than we normally do - and i made sure i stuck to the portion size...

I'm feeling good, because i think that i'm still sticking to the plan well. ESPECIALLY WITH THE FAT CALORIES =)

i need to get some extra exercise in... maybe a run after it gets dark and cools off again...
 
well... best laid plans went awry last night... I didn't get out there for a run... and I didn't stop eating after my fruit bar. My stupid fiance made these mini corn dogs and i managed to eat two of them... not too tragic in the big picture, but i'm just mad i couldn't stick with it!

breakfast:
