It looks good to me but it also looks like it is pretty low in calories. Hopefully you will lose this week. If I were you and if I didn't lose anything this week, I would add some calories in there. Too low of calories can put your system into starvation mode and that is not good for you. Just my 2 cents.
I am hoping for a loss for you this week!!

These past few days have been busy. My food plan is going OK but little to no exercise. I am trying to finish up a baby quilt to give as a gift Sunday afternoon at a baby shower. Worked on it this evening until I broke a sewing machine needle and decided that was a sign to give it up for the day. Monday I will start back to exercising with a passion. I lost weight several years ago by treating exercise as a job. It worked.
Have a great weekend.

My mother and I are working hard to get our eating plans fixed up. I've really learned a lot.
1. Measure everything. Serving sizes are enough, butthey aren't quite as large as I thought.
2. Eat every 2 hours. Once you get used to it, it really feels great.
3. In order to get all the nutrients my body needs, I need to eat lots of different foods. I can have a lot of food, but I need to eat little bits of lots of different foods within the same group. Example: Instead of 2 cups of greenbeans, I will feel better and be happier if I eat 3-baby carrots, 5 slices of cucumber and some fresh tomato slices. The more colors and flavors on my plate, the more likely I will get the nutrients I need.
4. Plate your food on pretty dishes! Make eating a fun activity and you will be more likely to enjoy it.
5. Planning and preparing food is a big job. It isn't any more work to cook 2 batches instead of one. Serve one and freeze the other part. A great way to plan an evening off duty.
I'm sure I'll learn more.
