Confessions
Again, the points are not being tracked. I didn't feel much like it when I was still down and out from illness. Also, watch my blog for a soon-to-be-posted excursion last Saturday to my latest discovery - the Chocolate Cafe. Need I say more?
What Worked for Me
I bought the Magic Bullet! Again, check out my blog for details. It helped me to make healthier choices because we made so many yummy fruit smoothies, instead of fattening treats. When the fruit starts to go bad, I chunk it up and stick it in the freezer. I'm going to be braver this week and try and sneak some veggies in the smoothies, and flax seed. My rheumatologist told me I need 3 g of Omega 3's everyday!
Also, Peter and I hit Whole Foods again and got a few more products sans "all the bad stuff." I really like Edamame (soy beans) in the dishes I'm preparing - very healthy for you and tasty!
Goals for This Week/Month
The clock is ticking for me....beach week is sneaking up in May. So, I've decided that February is my month. Here's my exercise plan:
Walking at 3 mph on treadmill
Week 1: walk 1 mile a day for six days
Week 2: walk 1.5 miles a day for six days
Week 3: walk 2 miles a day for six days
Week 4: walk 2.5 miles a day for six days
I'd like to eventually get up to walking three miles a day, at 4 miles an hour. This is a good start.
Also, I'm getting back on the points, for REAL. And still trying to omit the yuckies.
Good luck, all!

Looks like you have a great plan in place for success! I believe that if we continue to try, eventually we will succeed! I know you will! Have a good week, and the chocolate restaurant looks fab!
I'm excited to hear about the Chocolate Cafe! That exercise plan looks great. I also heard the Magic Bullet things are really cool. Everyone I know that has one gets way into smoothies. Good luck this week!
