Hello! This is my first time to your blog and I love it. It’s crisp, well organized, and full of great information.

Commiting to get serious is a HUGE first step. My husband and I commited ourselves to eating healthy versus going on a diet and we’ve never looke back. I must admit, however, that it’s hard work to stay focused each and every day but we’re doing it. Keep the faith and don’t give up.

Katecooks – this sounds like a great compromise! Something little every day, more of a real treat once a week. I’m glad you found your balance! And thanks for reading

i’ve been buckling down too! it’s hard though, right? your enthusiasm is great and i think you are right on track. i have been eating a snack every night but sticking to smaller treats, with something more decadent, like froyo, once a week. (doesnt sound like a lot, but self serve + unlimited toppings bar = way too much to do more than once a week!). i dont know if its the ‘rules” that are working, or just knowing that i can have those things, just not all the time all at once. anyway sounds like you have your head on straight and i will definitely have to keep reading to see how it goes!!

Dish Gal – the strada was REALLY good

Mandy A – you are too cute! I actually did the Body for Life workouts in college. Don’t remember the cheat day part. I think every day was a cheat day for me in college. Damn unlimited low quality buffets at the dining hall.

Brava for sharing, Elina. I think many of us go through this when we switch up our routine. Good for your for being aware and taking responsibility – it is motivating!

Elina, I am beaming reading this post! You can tell that you feel 100% confident with this and makes you feel SO much more at ease! I’m so glad for that!!!

I so agree… 1 treat a day rather than having a full cheat day sounds much more reasonable!! When hubby and I did Body For Life years ago – we took our cheat day too literally… if I told you what we would eat in one day, you might be sick! We were! haha

I’m so glad to see this… I can’t wait to see the outcome for you

Yay for Eve, btw!!

I found myself grinning while reading this post… it’s great that you feel you’re on the right path!

The strata looks awesome – anything with goat cheese is a winner in my book.
