Realizations

We are nearing the end of Week 2 and I have had some realizations...

Cereal is lasting longer. We are measuring it and eating less. The dietitian had said our grocery bill should go down (yeah right!), cereal at $4 a box  is definitely making an impact. We are eating less.

I don't think the kids have been getting enough milk in their diet. I would have never known this if not for doing the food diary!! Calcium is needed for their bones. I am not certain I am obtaining what I need either nor Steve. This is something I will be sure to visit with Janet about at our next appointment.

We could shop every other day for fresh fruit and soon for veggies too as the garden produce dwindles down. We are eating more fruit than ever before. We always ate vegetables.

Steve says his realization has been this is hard work, but he feels good! He has a goal and wants to complete it.

I think I am really getting into this exercise thing! I am quietly excited about this. No one is more surprised than me!
