I love being able to have a TREAT when I eat right and plan out my day!   Not getting as winded doing the housework, which is a big plus, it means I can do it all at once instead of having to take breaks in between rooms!

Tomorrow is another day!

Did not feel up-to-par today - a little tired, as you can see by no exercise today :-(  Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better!  My intake also reflected how I was feeling today, as it was quite low.  Tomorrow is going to be better!


I also figured out today that the WebMD site does not subtract the dietary fiber from your carbs - so I will be doing that myself.  I am trying to stay below 130 per day.  I LOVE that I found a bread that I can have without feeling guilty!  Pepperidge Farms Carb Style 7 grain - only 5 NET carbs per slice! <3  Now I can have my PB sandwiches!
