Mid-month update

It's been half a month since I started my new regimen, and everything seems to be going smoothly, except I am constantly hungry, which is normal with a diet. I have also begun my T-Tapp "Bootcamp" (exercise program), and it is a LOT harder than I thought. Every muscle is used and man do I feel it afterwards...but I remind myself that this is a good soreness.

I have been munching on Clementines as snacks, but the ones we recently picked up are gross and I have to make another run to a different store where the produce is better. I hate the smell of peanuts and don't really like to eat them as much as I used to, but they have been a great snack for me as well. As for dinner, that's when I have the most of my carbohydrates. Like I said, I am not militant about my diet, but I am trying to be very mindful of what I eat. For example, last night I made a spaghetti and experimented with crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. It came out good but next time I will be following Mommy Chef's Pasta Bruschetta recipe. It looks delicious!

My child is even hunkering down and eating salads without causing a stir. This is great!
