New Beginnings

I've tried to re-start a couple of times, but never even made it two days. This time is going to be different.

I am a different person now. A couple of weeks ago I lost a pregnancy at 9 weeks. I know it wasn't my fault (I keep telling myself that), but I have resolved to improve my health so that next time I'll feel confident that I did everything I could to nurture my baby.

Today was fine for a first day. I wasn't actually planning on starting so soon. I thought maybe I should give my body another week or two to recover, but this weekend I was reading about how the Spring Equinox is a time to celebrate new life overcoming the power of the grave. It seemed like the perfect time to start. (It was either this or Easter, and that didn't work out so well for me last year.)

So last night I ate or threw out most of my treat stash. I didn't really have anything in the house for a good Lean and Green meal, so I ended up eating an open face chicken sandwich with no veggies, but at least I started. I've got menu plans for this week and time to shop tomorrow.

The MF meals are still just as awful as I remembered, but I know this isn't forever. At least the food isn't. Hopefully the results will be.

I've got the best reason and motivation to do this. Now it's up to me.
