How was the FIRST week?? You all did awesome, even if you didn't get a perfect score you're on the road to feeling great! I would have had a prefect week including not using my 2 cheats except we went to Utah for a relaxing weekend. We stayed at Matt's parents home, which is a Heaven on Earth. We love every moment of being there INCLUDING the food. His mom is the skinniest little thing, but looking in her pantry you'd think she'd be quite opposite:) I found it a HUGE struggle to stay away from all the goodies! So here is my advice as you go into this new week: Clean your cupboard from ALL junk food, even things you feed your children. The reason my week was relatively easy while home was because I don't keep any sort of goody in our home...the kids eat what I eat. If they want a snack it's fruits, vegetables and if they get lucky they'll get some almonds too. I promise you, you're kids will adjust to this easier than you think, and in the end it not only helps you keep your goal but it helps THEM!!
