This week has been a fun start. It was really encouraging to step on the scale on Friday and see that I've lost 6lbs! Some would contest I cheated because I got the flu, but that didn't help that much. What did help was the fact that I started to eat better, more meals and started drinking more water.

I eat something warm for breakfast, like oatmeal, with an apple and then another apple around 10. I have been eating soup, salads or a sandwich for lunch around noon. I have been making sure to include salads and veggies because those are great for you. I will usually have a small snack like a piece of fruit around 3 or 4ish. Then for dinner I will have a well portioned meal with a good ration of veggies. One thing I keep in mind is STAY AWAY FROM SUGARY SWEETS!

One thing that has helped a lot is a cook book that my wonderful mom gave me for Christmas. It's called Deceptively Delicious. It's a totally sweet because it shows you how to put healthy foods like spinach in everyday foods, without being able to taste it. Let me tell ya, it's a great book.

We shall see how this next week goes, I'm starting to add exercise to the mix. I'm way excited...I feel like I'm doing the whole Rocky on the stairs thing when I step on the scale. I plan on coming out like a champ.

See ya next week!!
