I'm on day 11 of my "lifestyle change" and I'm finally starting to really feel the effects of it. I have been eating healthy (REAL healthy, not fake healthy) and I have been exercising every day. I'm cutting out artificial sweeteners and I have stopped drinking diet soda and coffee altogether. I have been drinking water and unsweetened tea, and a little fruit juice when I feel that I really need a flavored drink. I have been cooking myself and making my lunch everyday instead of buying it, so I'm saving money and eating healthier.
The real test is going to be that over the next 4 days I'll be eating out 3 times. A Japanese hibachi dinner tonight, an Italian dinner tomorrow night, and a brunch on Sunday. I have scouted out the menus for all 3 places in advance and I already have a game plan. I'm very confident that I can get through this weekend without sabotaging myself.

    Great job!! I always scout out menus before I go anywhere and have picked out what I'm going to get :) Helps a lot to steer clear of last minute decisions :)

    I have a feeling you'll make it through the weekend just fine!
