The Week in Review, Week One

I weigh in tomorrow morning, and while I've only been on this diet for a week, I'm feeling really good about being able to do this as a real lifestyle change this time.

The meals I've prepared were mostly fantastic: colorful, flavorful, full of fresh vegetables, and really satisfying. I think I'm developing staples in the ham and cheese breakfast, flatbread pizzas for lunch, and tomato soup for snacks (yum).

The dinners I enjoyed most this week were the tacos and turkey tostada... and the Cuban pork, which I guess says how much I love Mexican and Cuban flavors. So much the better, since they're quick and easy to cook too.

I struggled with water this week, though I think I'm improving. I also barely exercised at all - now that the weather is starting to look up, perhaps I can get myself running again this coming week.

All in all, I'm feeling good, and I hope to see that reflected in some kind of weight loss in the morning. Either way, I know my body is benefitting from healthier foods and so many fresh vegetables.
