Today is a new beginning

[Alex Cruz]

Good morning.  Today we have all started a healthier way of eating.. I know that we should go cold turkey but I know my family and how to make it work..

So I woke up earlier and made scramble eggs for everyone.
Made everyones lunches with low carb tortillas and counted the slices per servicing for my daughter and I.
My hubby who works outside in intense physical work got more..
Cheese snack with some salami slices
crystal lite all around..

I know that the goal is to make it to 20 carbs and under but, I feel like I started them pretty good.

For dinner, I have shrimp marinating for skewers. The Veggies have been cut up and washed so it will  be easier when I get home..

Yikes, the first week of school for the kids (I have a 15 yr old, 10 yr old, 3 yrs and 1 yr old), I start my semester as well (2 classes) working full time and trying to get healthy...  I'm applying Dory's philosophy, "keep on swimming, keep on swimming".  Finding Nemo

I'm impressed! What a great start, especially considering your busy schedule. I, too, am taking classes, have three kids, pastor's wife, work full time. We all understand, so feel free to vent and ask questions as you go along.

Aly !You got your hands full! The best advice i can give you is be organized!

[Alex Cruz]

Yep, you're right. I have my schedule mapped out but you know how that goes. Last night I went to start my first assignments and of course our PC was down. We didnt get it up till almost midnight. I then sat up doing the minimum possible until I get home today. Needless to say, I have not slept much.
