Weight: 126.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG what an awesome way to start my busy day!!! YAY!!!! I am down 12.4 lbs as of this morning....

I am going to be super busy today so I won't have time to input any data about my meals until tomorrow! Hopefully I will keep it under control, but I am hosting a baby shower this afternoon and there will be cake and punch and other sweets to push me over the edge. Plus I will be super ready for some relaxation tonight with some good friends (and my raspberry vodka!)! :)

Breakfast (348 cal/8.5 fat/54 carbs/15.5 pro): 3 tbsp Creamy Wheat BC (120 cal/0 fat/25 carbs/4 pro), 1 cup fat-free milk (80 cal/0 fat/12 carbs/8 pro), 2 tbsp sunflower seeds (100 cal/8.5 fat/4 carbs/3.5 pro) & 2 tbsp dried cranberries (48 cal/0 fat/13 carbs/0 pro).

Tip of the day from www.prevention.com:

The Perfect Day of Eating ~ Control weight and boost energy with hour-by-hour tips
7:30 AM: Breakfast

All of our experts loved oatmeal for breakfast. Have one-half cup of uncooked oats or a packet of instant. “Your body digests the fiber slowly, so you stay full for a couple of hours,” says Brooke Alpert, MS, RD, founder of B Nutritious, a private nutrition counseling practice in New York City. For protein, add a glass of fat-free milk, yogurt, or a hard-boiled egg. Or stir some nuts (almonds or walnuts) into your oats. For fruit, Alpert recommends one-half cup of mixed berries for vitamins and antioxidants and more fiber. You can also pour a small glass of OJ, which has nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and potassium.

Bonus Tip: Whatever you do, don’t just sip coffee all morning and wait to eat until lunch, says Alpert. “You’ll be so hungry, you won’t make healthy choices.”
