Hello!

Season Four starts today and I'm thrilled to be a contestant!

I just got done with a week long trip with family, food and fun...and did I mention food?

Cupcakes, apple pie, cookies, banana chocolate chip muffins with streusel topping, ice cream, pizza, Cafe Rio, hamburgers..oh. my. word. The list goes on.

Plus, I've been drinking tons of regular soda this last week.
1 cup of soda =95-115 calories
I drank several cups a day.

I'm going to be totally honest..I kept telling myself "this is my last chance to splurge before I start my diet".
Today is April 1st, the start of Season Four. The start of my diet and healthier life.
We are going out of town again for the weekend.
There's going to be more food, family and fun...and probably more food.

This weekend is going to be a major test for me.
With summer coming up, we are bound to travel a lot, and I can't use the "I'm on a trip..." excuse every time because my weight will be a constant yo-yo.
I can't use that excuse this weekend.
I can still eat and have fun, it just takes portion control.
Ugh, I hate that term "portion control"...but it's a fact of life, at least in a healthy, skinnier life.

Check back with me Monday to see if I could keep things under control this weekend.

Wish me luck!
