I can do this!

2:45pm on my first day back on SB. I can do this. I feel good, and I ate so well today!

Well, except for breakfast, b/c I overslept and missed that whole time frame...

a.m. snack - string cheese, with coffee and water
lunch - small salad w/vinaigrette, portobello pizza
p.m. snack - celery w/LC Light

Also I have found quite a few new recipes lately, and I found a whole new SB recipe site today!

I'm anxious to try this one from ivillage:

Also, this one looks good - I've made the full-sugar version in the past, often in a pie crust, but eh, who needs a crust?!
