No too bad, hopefully

Well I had a great beginning to today. I ate a yogurt for breakfast, a chicken sandwhich for lunch, okay so it had a small milkshake with it, and then we did go out to the Chinese buffett for dinner. I did, however, have water to drink. I limited myself to one plate, where as usual I would have had at least 2, and maybe three helpings, and then I had a serving of banana pudding, and then resisted the urge to eat more pudding etc by eating water melon. It was good and refreshing. So, I probably ate too much today overall, but I am working more on changing my eating habits at this point, making better choices when we go out, and that I think I have done. THE BIG NEWS....I have made the cut. NO soda today, and I will not have anymore, period. I even had water at a restaurant which is HUGE for me. Also, as advised by my dear friend, I am changing from Powerade Zero to Gatorade 2, which is low calorie, not calorie free. Apparently the chemicals in the PZ is worse then the calories in G2, so I will work with that. Even though I don't like the taste as much. Really, I only need that kind of drink when I am hot and working at the barn, and other then that I will be drinking just water.

I am happy with it all at this point, I feel that I am making good overall choices. I have not had fries since I started, and I don't even really miss them. I would like a chocolate bar every once in a while, and maybe I will allow myself one after this weeks weigh in. I am not sure that I will make the goal, but even if I don't, I think I will still be happy.
