I got up and ran this morning. I'm really slacking on the moving part of the journey this week! I'll get back on track as soon as this stupid cold leaves my body. I'm really tired of feeling like crap!

I had a lot of time to think this morning. My husband is really struggling with his weight. He wants to lose. He has lost anything and he's been tracking and trying to do better. I couldn't figure it out. He uses My Fitness Pal to track. It really is an awesome program. I could look back on the past month and see what he's tracked. Two things stood out. First, tracking at night and finishing out the day. Second, the stark lack of fruits and vegetables. I know that I'm struggling with veggies.

What needs to happen? Easy. Planning. Portions. Plating.
I need to plan our menus to include vegetables. Make sure they get cooked and not waved aside.

The scale and measuring cups are going to the table. Everyone will benefit from learning portion control.

Our plate should look like the plate above. It should have more on it than the main dish. Can I make a plate like that?
