Week 1 of Smart Eating

So my pants are tight and I'm not going to take it any longer. As a petite woman, the additional weight makes a big difference. At least it feels that way to me. And that's all I really needed to make a change. I have been sedentary as of late and even with the sweets in the freezer, I've not only eaten them frozen, but I've eaten THEM ALL. Yeah, not good. So for the month I will be using a menu planning guide from Woman's Day magazine and weighing and measuring my food. I will also be fessing up sharing my food journal. That is EVERYTHING I shove in my pie hole.Here's what I've eaten this past week:WEDNESDAYTropical smoothie with yogurt, OJ, apple & pineappleblack teaChicken-Avocado Quesadilla with pot pie filling so no cheese, but added kalesparkling waterChicken sausage with Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas10 almondsTHURSDAYCoffee with soy milk1 cup steelcut oats with cranberries & pumpkin seeds and a dollop of non-fat yogurt.
