Snacks:

-small piece flat bread with goat cheese, basil, and olive (co-worker gave to me)

Beverages:

Exercise: This morning I got up at 6:30am and went for a 30 minute jog in the park, interval style, using the Couch to 5K program. Then in the evening I had my final session with my trainer (for a while). Did a bunch of these mean caterpillar moves and lots of squats and lunges.

Notes: Feeling grrrrreat! I've had those hazelnut brussel sprouts before but for some reason they tasted extra awesome today. With the exception of that flatbread piece someone dropped by my office I did a good job of eating nothing but whole foods today. I got my no-sugar low fat milk green tea latte from Starbucks and it turns out it was free pastry day and I could take any big ol sugary thing I wanted for free. I opted for a piece of reduced sugar banana bread, walked it back to work, and promptly offered it to the first co-worker willing to take it. It's a small step, but trust me that's not what would have happened 3 months ago.
