So here i am back on the wagon. Started the first week in January. Down 20.2 lbs so far. I am getting overwhelming support from my family, friends and co-workers. My sister and I are exchanging healthy meals. My co-workers are offering frequent words of encouragement, expecially as i do my nightly hour of laps around the ICU.
I thought for my first installment of my blog i would share some of my favorite foods of the moment.
Cabot 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese---yummy with fruit or crackers, great grated in recipes.

Mio Energy Black Cherry---i have quit soda but need caffiene around 4 or 5am when working. This no calorie drink mix helps me out.

Also eating lots of chili, soup, fresh berries, oranges, peaches, salad, yogurt, almonds. Trying out new recipes with whole grains such as quinoa, bulgur. I'll post some recipes soon. And of course lots and lots of water.
