T-Minus 4 days!!!

I am on vacation in 4 days - whoot, whoot!!  I am so excited.  Of course being on vacation will create a challenge in and of itself.  I am going to do my very best to stick to what is working for me - no eating after 8pm and cut out starchy carbs.

Success was the name of the day with all my girls dropping some great pounds.  I got on the scale and am down 3.2 lbs.  That takes me out of the 200's.  I told my husband he is no longer married to a deuce!  I hope to keep it that way and reduce it even further.  It is great that my girls and I all had such a successful week.  When you achieve success, you crave more.  I hope we can all keep the momentum going.

The challenge this week is 5 servings of veggies a day.  At first I thought I had this in the bag, but not so much.  I have been really great at eating salads and veg for lunch, but I seem to have it taper off by dinner time.  So on first glance I thought the challenge this week would be a breeze, but after not meeting the challenge today, not so easy.

To help me with this challenge, I need to improve my food journaling, take a page from my friend Kelly's page.

Breakfast
1 cup oatmeal
meduim double double

Lunch
2 cups spinach
1/4 cup craisins
20 almonds
2 tsbp calorie wize poppy seed dressing
1 nectarine

Snack
10 cashews

Supper
2 california rolls (white rice - starchy carb, but yummy)
1 Sunomono salad
1 cookie

Snacking after 8 - NO WAY!!!
Water - Not quite today - harder when I have the coffee in the morning
5 servings of veggies - nope - and I am going to find out what a serving is so I can do better tomorrow.

Feeling good about my progress and great about my girls progress.  Hope I can beat this challenge tomorrow!
