I started my 3- Apple- a -day diet yesterday, complete with exercise.

I weigh every day.....(I know Sandy, but I get obcessive complusive about some things.)

My scale has been known to lie.

My scale said I had lost 3 pounds!

I like my scale (at least for today!) I am a firm believer that if you gain weight, it is water weight.....if you lose weight, it is definitely fat!)

Could my apple shaped body really respond to apples? If today is an indication I would say yes! Unless my body is leading me into false assumptions only to sabotage me later!

Eating an apple before meals helps me increase my fruits and vegetable intake and my fiber consumption. It helps fill me so I eat less . I like the fact that it is crunchy and sweet and helps curb my "sweet tooth". They are easy to carry with me too. So just call me Johnny Appleseed for now!

Today was a good day.....tomorrow will be even better!
