GettinFit, I'm so happy to report that this is day 2! I also exercised on the elliptical for 15 and the treadmill for 15 yesterday. This is a big deal, since I've been floundering and have been off and on my plan since the holidays. I tell you that I feel so much better in one day. Thank you for your inspiration!

For breakfast: flaxseed bread, 1/2 cup soy milk, eggbeaters, banana
Lunch: Mushrooms, apple, almonds
Dinner: I will eat what I was going to eat yesterday (soy patty, zucchini, green beans, yogurt), since we went out to dinner last night. I only had a 1/2 of sandwich and small salad.

All the best to you! And congrats on losing a lb.!!!!

And congrats on making it to 40 days.

Thanks for the encouragement Tyla. I feel bad for those who are stuck on the freeway. One of my co workers didn't make it home until 2 pm today. Fortunately I rode the train in yesterday & didn't have to deal with the traffic gridlock. I have done very good today & have followed my plan today except I haven't eaten all my snacks. I have done my workout and may do another dvd this eve.

Have a great evening.
