I felt like I did pretty good for my first day of eating in the new year. Over the holidays I ate anything and everything I wanted. As you can see, I love carbs, so carbs must be a doable part of my nutrition plan. (I tried a low/no carb diet once....I was down to my skinniest, but couldn't stick to it. And then gained back all of the weight that I lost. No thanks! I need a plan that will work for someone who regularly gives into temptations.)

Temptations today.....a cheesecake in the fridge and a bowl of cookies---both that I made just yesterday for our New Year's Eve celebration. See what I mean? But.....I did not have any cheesecake or cookies. I also passed on the store bought cookies/cupcakes brought to dinner.

Overall rating for today...good. Happy New Year!!
