Yummy in my tummy ... for the good of it!

So, I know the day is not yet over, but I'm just way too excited about this tiny change I'm making in my life (that will hopefully garner a HUGE change in the long-run).

My picture for today:

I've made the conscious decision to start eating more healthy. Don't worry, I don't think I'm fat. But my arthritic joints could stand to lose a few pounds of weight pressing against them. And who doesn't want to feel better??

So, I'm mashing the Mediterranean Diet with the South Beach Diet. That means whole grains (when I can), LOTS of veggies, fish, limited poultry, NO RED MEAT, and....   :(....  no fruits (but only for the first two weeks for the 'no fruit' thing).

It actually looks way better all put together than I thought it would. I'm excited to start this new year not with "New Year's Resolutions" but with new ways of improving my life and my body. ... for the good of it.
