The First Five Pounds

Well,I have achieved the first goal.  Down five pounds.  I'm sure I could have done better, but there were problems along the way.  My husband bought Doritos, beer and other assorted things on the weekend.  I was able to avoid most things, but the Doritos and beer are hard to refuse on a hot long weekend on the patio. I found that the lean cuisines did not work for me for dinner at all.  I was still really hungry after having them.  So I tried low fat soups that were high in fiber - bean and vegetable versions.  They were probably higher in calories, but I needed to feel full to avoid snacking. Oh - and the reward - I went to buy myself two pairs of capris - just to wear in warm weather.  Maybe if I lose five more pounds, I'll buy some shorts.  I need them.
