I am really impressed with how pumped up I am about this MNS Challenge and I am truly excited that two of my dear friends decided to participate! I appreciate them for recognizing that I am trying to NOT live up to my middle name "The Flake".
So... what is exactly is my plan of attack for week 1? Well NOT to repeat the past! In the past, I have driven right into some rigorous jogging or weight program... I hit it hard for two weeks and then, I burn out... NEVER to return. As a result... in a matter of what? 2 months I faithful packed on about 10-15 lbs. I blame it on the pregnancy of a friend ;-) (Sherri).
I live with my 5 year old daughter, so in searching for a diet or a meal plan, I truly have to keep her in mind. I am NOT cooking TWO separate meals each week. My wallet is NOT about that life. This week we are doing soups for dinner (Caribbean style beef soup and chicken soup). She eats school breakfast and lunch... her choice... yayy! I HAVE to drink my coffee. That is a non negotiable!

As far as exercise goes... I am still trying to get my work and sleep schedule for spring semester in order. This weekend I believe I will start with a light jog on the treadmill and a few minutes on the stair master.
Peace out!
