Progress Report

So, I actually started on Saturday. I feel a lot better after I eat. I've been pretty regular, which has not happened without supplements since I became pregnant over 2 years ago. I am more careful about what I eat at dinnertime because I know I've done well up to that point. Also, when you eat that healthy for your first two meals, you feel really heavy and gross if you eat a super fatty dinner. Things I struggle with: I get really bad sugar cravings around 2 o'clock and end up eating a pound of fruits, vegetables, and nuts to avoid eating sugar. But I guess it's still better than eating cookies! This is Day 4 and so far, so good. I'll report back on my weight loss when I weigh myself at my parents' on Sunday.

Simple til Six

Well, I know that no one reads my blog any longer, but I want to document my progress and be accountable to someone, even if it is just random browsers on Blogspot. I read an article in Reader's Digest called Simple til Six in which a man told about his homemade diet plan. He ate only plant based and healthy foods until dinner time. At dinner he could eat whatever kind of meal he wanted. This is my ideal food plan. I can stay on my diet for two meals a day. In the evening is when I have a hard time. If I can eat whatever I want in the evening, I can make it! I start on Sunday, so we will see. Oh, the guy also said that once he'd been eating vegan twice a day for a while, he started wanting to eat better for his dinner meal, too. I hope that once I see how much better I feel and/or lose a few pounds it will motivate me to stick with it.
