Week one

I have one week under my belt of healthy eating. I haven't taken any measurements but I feel good. Here is a breakdown of what, and why I am trying to accomplish.
1. No alcohol
2. No processed food
3. Mostly organic or local food
4. Keeping calories low by increasing fruit/vegetable consumption not by eating "light" "diet" products.
5. No sugar substitutes

Many know that I lost lots of weight before. However, I consumed lots of sugar free products and processed foods. Clearly, this was not the way for me to lose the weight.

I made a commitment to bake my own breads, go to the farmers market weekly and purchase local produce, dairy, and meat and cook or prepare my meals at home.

My back pain is getting better but still present. I want to begin walking next week.

I have been very enthusiastic and when I want something I think of a goal so much bigger than the way I look or feel.

Here is my favorite meal to make this week. Sprouted grain spinach, Black beans, fajita quesadilla with homemade guacamole and pico de gallo.
