Here is my first menu for the week. I have not added in snacks and Honey Nut Cheerios with milk calories. I'm happy about going back to Cheerios for breakfast. While still in classes, I used to get up every morning and eat them. It was always a nice start for the day.

Working on this menu has made me feel even more encouraged! It felt as though I had to fight to find enough to add up to 1500 calories! There will be a lot of space in the food I eat. Since I don't really want to give up pop, I found 100 calorie cans at the store. Also, if we don't have enough time, grabbing lunch won't screw everything up!

I found some awesome recipes online this evening. Unfortunately, some of them do not give the nutritional information. Working with this menu, I can make sure there is enough leeway in the menu to make them ^____^

I've always had a hard time keeping to menus. I'm hoping that this one will work. Scrounging for food makes it more likely to slip and eating something bad. Also, there is something nice in knowing what you're having for dinner.

Got out and get some ink! Take a girlfriend/friend and get small ones together. My first is Japanese Kanji on my right forearm. It's about and inch in height and width. It took about 15min.

Yeah, I'm a pusher ^_~

*AHA Low calorie Cookbook (I think this is the correct name

*Taste of Home Everyday Light Meals

*Fix-It and Forget-It Lightly

*Busy People's Diabetic Cookbook

*The 1500-calorie-a-day Cookbook

They are really good books. I really like the AHA cookbook and the Taste of Home.
