Day 1 (after the weigh in, that is)

So, last night the lasagne was brilliant... but I had a small portion. I did have a two glasses of '99 Amarone Classico (Masi) and some raw vegetables. Not great - but not egrigious. This morning I'm up bright and early, green tea, organic peanut butter on sprouted grains toast and 30 minutes on the exercise bike (10 miles it says.. not a bad speed, I suppose). Soon, the dog gets walked and there will be a little left over lasagne for lunch or dinner...
I have been warned off all dairy, especially cheese, by wise kind friends, but at this point I'm not willing to leave cheese alone. I am trying for a life-style modification more than a diet... and with my great affection for French and Italian cuisines, I am going to eat cheese at some point. I don't have to eat much and I don't have to do it too often - but I simply can't swear it off. (yes this lasagne has cheese - provolone, ricotta, cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan... but this dish is a very special and rare treat in my house).
I have also found from experience that I go into something intensely for a month, but will give it up after 6 weeks... so, I don't want this to be intense, but lasting. So, I'm easing into it.... (at least, I sincerely hope so)
Prayer?
God, let me focus on today... yesterday is done and tomorrow will come when it comes... today, I can balance my life. Amen (oh, and a Habs victory would be nice, too!)
