Eating for Heath in 2010!

Today went well. I couple of times a felt hungry while at work. I work in a preschool and I can only have water while working in my classroom. So, I drank water. Right now I'm dealing with a headache.

L: Sweet potato and a large green salad

D: brown rice and stir fry veggies(cooked in water) w/soy sauce

The weather here has been muggy and hot. I have been fighting off the urge to go to 7-11 at the end of my street for a slurpee. I have cut down on my coffee. I feel that adding exercise has given me a natural energy boost. How cool is that! Just feeling great. Even though it is the first day of my TOM. Did 35 minutes of cardio.
B: @1 cup blueberries, hash browns with taco sauce
L: brown rice w/stir fry veggies from last night
S: sourdough crackers w/ ff humus and baby carrots
D: spinach salad w/chick peas and green onions, brown rice w/zucchini,green beans onions, and garlic topped with a ff spaghetti sauce

Your menu looks great.

Just wanted to point out that couscous is processed, in case you didn't know. It's a pasta.
