Welcome 2017

Ok so I have the same outlook but a new approach at the beginning of every year. For about 10 years on New Years Day I begin my 6 weeks of no booze. It's hard on Friday nights and pretty much the whole weekend, but once you overcome the first weekend, it's like wow. A proud moment. I am going to a wedding this month and will allow myself that evening to enjoy, and maybe that's part of the success for being dry nearly 6 weeks, looking forward to that cheat day. 

The other part of my plan is that I give up all sugar, except for the natural form like in fruit, but even so I minimize my fruit intake and maximize my vegetable intake. And of course I workout, but this year it's different, I worked hard to get back to 105, which is a healthy weight at 5 feet tall. But I want to be leaner and stronger.  So I will record my day on here to keep myself in check.
Day 1: 
AM: Room temp water with orange and lime juice, black coffee, 1/2 cup gluten free oats, w/ unsweetened almond milk
Gym
Snack: String cheese, water
Lunch: TJ's Broccoli & Kale Slaw kit salad minus the dried fruit, 4 apple slices and raw cucumbers and 4 tbsp hummus, water
Snack: 1 avocado and unsweetened ice tea
Dinner: Hot tea before dinner, then Zucchini lasagna w/ spaghetti squash and marinated tomatoes, ad sparkling water
Snack: 2tbsp all natural peanut butter & 1/2 cup of almond milk
My new part of my approach is my fantastic meal planning and new containers

The hubby is onboard as well, we each have our own set, and prep the same veggies and starch just different protein.
This week's menu was:
Spaghetti Squash with Trader Joe's Pesto & Salmon with roasted carrots and sweet potatoes
Zucchini Lasagna (because I had left over ingredients from our NYE pizza making party :) )
Here's the link to the lasagna found on Pinterest:
