Continued adventures in dieting

Here are some things I knew gave me blood sugar fits even before I started this diet:

--white potatoes

--alcohol on an empty stomach

--fruit juice sweetened yogurt plus granola sweetened with honey and maple syrup

--waffles with maple syrup

I've also recently learned that eating fruit at breakfast is likely to make me hungry much sooner. Sticking to a protein heavy breakfast seems to work best for me.

Since I started this diet, I've lost 5 lbs. I'd like to think I've gained a bit of muscle weight in the past week, since I've been doing some circuit training along with the "30 day shred" DVD. But who knows? The important thing is that my pants are no longer tight!
