I'd rather be following along, week 1!

As far as being healthy goes, this was a great week. No, it was a freaking fantastic week!

I'll tell you why:

1. I ate well. Here is my food diary, in a nut shell:

Monday: cereal

portbella spinach past (healthy choice, and soooo good.)

chips and salsa (an actual measured serving size)

flank steak, small serving of pasta, and lot's o' spinach.

Tuesday: cereal, apple

Portabella marsala pasta

(another yummy healthy choice meal)

flank steak, and a nice big blob of veggies

Wednesday: This day was a little rocky, as I skipped breakfast.

Sun dried tomato pesto chicken pasta

cucumbers, string cheese, light popcorn

Pizza - but a controlled serving size.

Thursday: cereal

Yeah, another microwave meal & an apple

caramel macchiato. Yup, I said it.

Beef pin wheel (w/ cheese, peppers & spinach inside)

broccoli and a few potato wedges.

Friday: More cereal

mini pizza's (microwaved) topped with veggies

Off to a movie, so I grabbed 3/4 of a chick-fil-a sandwich.

I did not have soda at the movie, but I did

succumb to the popcorn.

(a small box that I did not even come close to finishing)

Saturday: I know, I need variety....cereal.

Apparently, for lunch, I decided to skip a meal and

polish off the popcorn instead. oops.

I made (and tweeted) a cute little mummy made of

pizza dough, ham & cheese

Sunday: Big breakfast out with bacon, eggs, & english muffin

(coffee w/ 2 sugars, 2 pats butter, & 1 tsp jelly)

2 Reese's peanut butter cups. No lunch.

Fish, asparagus, rice for dinner

So, while it was not perfect, I didn't go out to eat all the Friday to Sunday meals (as I could easily, and often do.) I ate much less than I normally would. I made dinner. Often.

2. I exercised! I did my first long yoga class. It was fantastic! I was complaining about the pain for days later. Who knew yoga could kick your butt so hard? I also started a new EA Active 30 day workout. Those are always great - but I pushed myself to do the running (which I normally opt out of) and I did pretty well. *pat on the back* Oh, one last thing - I wore my Gruve all week, and got to green every day! (That just means, I reached my goal of burning calories and sat on my butt less.)

3. My kids were all in it with me! They took yoga classes too, and loved it. They drank water and ate more veggies and fruits. And we were burning up with wii:

4. I won some Earth footwear shoes! Not just one, actually, but three pairs! WOOT! That 3 degree angle will really help me feel the burn - can't wait for them to arrive!

5. I lost weight ~ awwwwww, yeah!

That would be, my stinky feet, on a scale that says 195! (Down 5 pounds!)

I'm so excited and so happy! I told ya'll I was going to rock it. ;)

See you next week!
