Greetings and felicitations!

Welcome! I invite you to join me on my journey to better health and well-being. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you!

My promise to you is no preaching, no soapbox, no lectures. This is going to be about what worked well for me -- I will comment but that's it -- take what you will from that. I figure, the book doesn't preach, so why should I? Feel free to post questions or comments -- and pass along the link to anyone who you feel might be interested. The more, the merrier!

However, I am only human...expect the occasional foot-stamping tantrum when I want chocolate...

Day 31 (Activate Cycle Day 13)

What did I learn today?  Kashi's "Go Lean Crunch" is freaking amazing!  Why didn't someone tell me this before?  It's yummy, filling, and fantastic mixed with yogurt.  I just might have found a new favourite for breakfast...

Went digging in the closet today and found a belt that will suffice for the next little while.  It's one that the hubby used to wear, though looking at the size of it, I really don't know how -- it's just the right size for me.  Ah, well -- it's going to be a useful addition to my wardrobe!

Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz. strawberry yougurt, 1 cup Kashi "Go Lean Crunch" (mixed in), green tea
Morning Snack -- Granny Smith apple, coffee
Lunch -- chicken breast & mushrooms (stir fried), leftover green beans (from last night's can), grape tomatoes, baby carrots
Dinner -- green salad with cucumber, red pepper, onion, celery, tuna, balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing

That cup of the cereal counted for both of my carb servings today, and I thought that was pretty cheap, until I realized that I wasn't really hungry at snack time.  So my morning snack was actually eaten at noon and lunch was at 2:00 -- and then I didn't really want dinner.  Methinks Kashi is a good thing.  I wonder how it will taste mixed with vanilla yogurt?

Here's something interesting that I noticed today -- I start to crave carbs around 9:30 in the evening.  Really badly.  And there's no cookies left...
