Month Two - What We Eat and Aiming Higher

Today is Day Three of Month Two and there have been some changes. Day One was awesome! I only ate from my allowed foods and did not partake on pizza, birthday cake - two opportunities, or spaghetti. What I did experience was awful Acid Reflux. Time to rethink this month. I know that the concept is tied to the theme of "7" but what we have decided is that for us, it was be a focus on what we are eating as much as it will be a focus on what we aren't eating. Meaning, no bread/butter, ice cream, snack foods - pretzel, chips, etc; no dessert or cokes; nothing that is bad for us. Only what is good for the body. We are sticking to water, fruits, veggies, rice, chicken, fish, etc. I have to say that even though Day One was "perfect", I got more joy out of Day Two. I wanted a Coke and did not have one (not something I normally drink, just craving one); I didn't get a cookie/dessert at Panera where I took the kids for a BDay lunch; I didn't eat any birthday cake at the house (and it looks GOOD); I didn't eat any of the super yummy chips they get from Moe's EVERY Tuesday night (I usually eat a couple handfuls before I run out the door). So, for now, we are happy with our choice for this month. Part Two of this month I have yet to work on as I have not really thought about it until now......so, that will come in a post or three. TTFN
