The first week went quit well. I wanted to start by eatting the foods that we already had in the house. This made for some dinners that had more processed foods than what we are going for, but it was wise all the same, to use up what we had.
Menu planning seems to be key, as even with the "not as healthy" meals that were on the menu, I managed to lose some weight.
Exercising is becoming a nice part of the routine. I am still only making it twice a week, but when I am there, I enjoy the exercise I am doing. Yesterday I made it a full half an hour on the treadmill, with a total of five - one minute runs at 5.2% It might not sound like much to some, but it is a huge difference to me.
My first shopping experience at the Hy-Vee health market went well also. There were a few things that were very pricey, some I got, others I did not. But i did manage to stay in my budget for the week, and got a lot of great meals that we are eatting this week.
I did notice today when i made Rice Krispie treats to take to school, if it is sweet and in my house....I am going to eat it. As my friend says.."the will power needs to happen at the store." Amazing wisdom there!
