Day One

Well January had arrived and with it a whole new approach to exercise and eating. I know I know you've all heard it before. I am not going to tell you that this is a new year and a new me, I can only say it is a new year and a tired me. Tired of being tired. Tired of being exhausted from trying to keep up with the kids. I am not really dieting (although I am watching the scale and the measuring tape closely). I am not cutting out any food groups either. I am just paying better attention to the lables on my food and being very exclusive as to what foods are allowed to party inside me. So what kinds of food did I eat on my first day of eating better? Here is my food diary from yesterday.

*Kashi Hot cereal
