I think I got back on track yesterday. I wanted something last night while I was watching TV, but I waited and it passed. I've lost about 5 pounds so far and it's so great to get on the scale and see it going down! This is the first time I have been successful at starting just a 'healthy eating' diet! I've tried before, but it's never worked. I've always needed more structure (like Weight Watchers or South Beach). The great thing is I think I can actually keep this one up!
I'm looking at it as more of a long term change than a temporary thing. I've also really cut my soda intake down. I'm only drinking one diet soda on most days (big improvement over 3 or 4).

I'm babysitting tonight, so no exercise, but I have a feeling I'll be doing some serious playing with my niece!

Here's my food journal for today:
Breakfast: Balance bar, bananna
Lunch: 2 laughing cow light cheese wedges, 1 serving Wheat thins Harvest Grain
1 c. fruit salad
Yoplait light strawberry/banana yogurt, 6 ounces
Snack: Balance bar, grape popsicle
Dinner: 3 chicken strips, french fries (baked)
Water: 80 ounces
