checking at end of week one

WOO HOO the end of the first week working on my New Year's resolutions.

First, I need to share that I've been consistent in walking every day. I'm up to 5+ miles the last three days.

Second, I've been consistent in logging my food intake each and every day. Everything that goes into my mouth is logged.

I've been staying between 1200-1500 calories every day.  I drink between 6-8 glasses of water most days.

The upshot is, after making the first week of lifestyle changes I'm down 3.2 pounds.

I came across this article (below) It was on the MSN website but it is a Prevention magazine. It shows how to read some food labels to help make better choices.

And here is an article I found via MSN but from Women's Day: This talks about some things about gluten.

And this link talks about various ways to drink tea. For those of you who don't know me, I LOVE my coffee in the morning. OK, I love it all day. But I also LOVE tea (and wine) and I've been lucky enough to enjoy teas, coffees and wine all over the world.
