* I guess I didn't feel like eating today. And now I'm going to have a reduced fat cheese stick...because I can...
* I also started a meal plan with my dietitian today so I am now on the diabetic exchange plan. No.. I don't have diabetes, but this plan is very healthy and something she likes people to do until I get my weight under control. I will also be getting a full lab workup on my blood, cholesterol and thyroid to rule out any underlying problems. I will be focusing more on this plan:
2300 calories
* ( as I am still breastfeeding over 2000 is ok)

3 fat free milk
3 non-starchy veggies
3 fruits
11 starches
12 lean meats
5 fats.
I have the exchange book which tells me how much each serving is.
So from now on I will not be putting down the measurements of each item but more of how many servings it is I have for each meal.
I'm hoping this makes sense to my readers. If it doesn't here is a link to better understand what I will be doing starting tomorrow.

* This looks a little more complicated than just counting calories. I will be buying a scale very soon b/c much of the serving size is in ounces. plus its kinda confusing.
