My day in food...
Breakfast - ff vanilla yogurt with fresh blueberries and a tbs of grape nuts, 12 oz grapefruit juice
Snack - Luna bar... (these are soooooo good! I got the carmel nut brownie ones and I heart them!)
Lunch - 12 reduced fat (rf) club crackers with tuna fish spread on top... then I splurged and had a toaster strudel... (head hung in shame) and I had a 12 oz bottle of coke and didn't finish about 3 oz of it.
Snack - raw carrots and dill dip - I am looking for a low fat homemade dill dip recipe if anyone has a good one!
Dinner - steamed broccoli, 1 slice wheat bread with rf peanut butter, 1 piece of string cheese and a glass of milk.
I'm 16 oz shy of my 64 oz water goal. I'll get there before bed time.
I don't feel like I'm totally following along with the recommended amounts of fruits, veggies, proteins, starches and dairy but what I do know is that I am eating a TON healthier and a TON less. So even though every day I may not get in each of the required items... I feel like this just might work. I am feeling great about what I'm eating and I haven't felt the urge to eat chips... which I thought would be the hardest thing. It is interesting cause about the time I am feeling hungry, it is time for another meal. I love the 5 meals a day idea... that really helps curbs any hunger driven cheating.
So... onto another first. I worked out today. Yes, I said worked out. You better sit down. Not only did I walk on the treadmill for 14 minutes I ran for 1. Don't laugh please. Until I have the proper attire to hold in the girls I cannot run on the treadmill. Breastfeeding has not been good to them and they no longer stay in one place. Anywho, I am starting with 15 min this week and will up it 5 min each week until I feel enough is enough... probably somewhere between 45-60 min's. After the treadmill I did 8 push-ups, used my 5 lb weights worked on arms then finished with sit-ups. Wow. I'm so impressed with myself. Not to sound like a snot... but I am! :)

Do 22 month olds have pms? Cause I think E is suffering from it right now. She will suddenly be so po'd about something I've done that she has a mini tantrum right in front of me... crying, throwing herself on the floor, sometimes she doesn't even cry... just acts like she is and adds the howling in... what is up with this? Is this what I have to look forward to for the next year? Urghhh!
Does your body get used to all this water? Cause I am peeing 2387749098434 times a day and have been having to convince everyone at work that I am not pg... I am just drinking more water.
I think I am going to be sore tomorrow. I'm heading to my nice warm cozy bed to cuddle up with my book. The further away from the chip cupboard I am the better! Night :)

It sounds like you're doing great with the new food regimen. I would be starving!
keep up the good work Kris. You seem to be on the right track. It's not easy to make a lifestyle change, but the reward of feeling good about yourself is worth it. Once you get in the habit of exercising it will become routine, and almost addictive! Love, Megan
Nice to hear you are feeling better about yourself. As far as the little E is concerned. It is not PMS. This is the Terrible 2's beginning. She has now figured out how to really push your buttons and will get better at it each day until you figure out how to turn it around on her. Now, I know I am not a parent yet, but I do know quite a few things about kids. You know with my 12million little cousins that call me uncle. Hopefully you get what I'm saying. You know anytime you need a break that Kt and I will take her for a while.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!! mE WITH MY POM POMS!
GO NELLIE GO NELLIE~ You will be suprised how fast you can increase your time on the tread...I love to use little hand weights too..helps with the underarm jiggle. I need 2 sports bras sometimes...your food diary makes me hungry!
I am impressed with the exercising. In the past, I have only lost weight by dieting. I guess exercising would speed the process along.
Good luck! I hope this diet works for you.
