Meal Guide

Here's my new meal plan/guide. I was really surprised that I wasn't eating enough, I guess I had never really thought about it. Monday-Friday I have always skipped breakfast -BAD - so trying to force myself to take a quick five minutes for some oatmeal has been kind of a challenge. I do love it though. I find that by lunch time I'm not starving, and I do have more energy in the morning now too.
