Well, this is something like a New Year's Resolution. Basically, we realized that between the two of us, we have over 52 years of dieting experience! So, we wanted to draw on that experience.... and our writing talents, to create something that can support us both as we try our best to be healthy... and possibly lose weight. So this will be part food diary, part emotional discussion, part fun... and hopefully completely successful.

I felt so much better yesterday after eating a Super Food Salad for lunch (spinach, tomatoes, turkey, beans, broccoli) that it's made me more determined than ever to focus on eating much more nutritionally. Because think of how good I'd feel if I had been eating like that all last week if only one meal could make me feel so energized?

I ate a good lunch today, consisting of turkey breast on high fiber bread, cup of tea, and an orange, but alas, had a donut for breakfast. My cravings for sugar and fat are high right now. Is it the weather?

I plan on eating salmon, brussel sprouts and whole grains for dinner, so, all in all, a good nutritional day.

My clutter busting is coming along. Last night I filled an entire hefty bag with stuff from my chest of drawers and closet. I'm tackling my bookcases tonight, and, if I have energy to spare, my desk. If not, that is tomorrow night.

I'm also planning on re-reading "You on a Diet" because that book really impressed me. I made a lot of notes and marked pages - something I've never done with a diet book before, so, I want to revisit that and do some menu planning. It's become very, very, VERY clear to me that if I don't plan, I'm done for. That's just all there is to it - healthy living/eating doesn't just happen. You have to plan for it.

Cathyoma, I saw these pads you stick on your feet at night that are supposed to help detoxify you! They were at WalMart. Hmmmm....
