My Reason for Living...

Meet my little Sugar Bean. She is my biggest and greatest accomplishment in life. I'm so very blessed, and grateful to be her mom.

And We're Off...

My biggest challenge is having the lack of support on the home front. My husband is supportive in the sense that he wants me to do well, but not when it comes to a change in his diet. So it's hard to come up with meals that support myself yet feed my meat-and-potatoes husband. Yesterday was Monday, Day 1...and I kicked off the week with healthy foods.... (because I was running late and forgot my breakfast) I grabbed a bagel in our cafeteria. Breakfast options are SLIM to none down there... so that was the healthiest option for me over pastries and pop tarts!
Lunch I had a big salad topped with tuna (in water not oil) and a red wine vinaigrette dressing.
On my way home I stopped into Trader Joe's (which is a whole other post because I can NOT believe the fresh, organic produce you can buy and spend LESS than if you were shopping at Price Chopper!) ANYWAYS... loaded up on fresh produce. For dinner we had Weight Watchers Turkey burgers (Jake loved them!) and I had fresh green beans while he downed the ever so amazing, yet greasy, french fries! UGH the temptation!!!!
