Today I embark on a mission to lose weight.  This is my goal for the next 28 days.  I have no target in mind except a year ago, I was 17 pounds lighter.  This is day one.  My Day 1  meal plan is listed below.  I will blog each day’s meal plan.  Any encouragement will be much appreciated : ) 

Day 1

1 cup fat-free milk

¼ cup roasted or raw unsalted sunflower seeds

4 ounces (½ cup) unsweetened applesauce

Glass of Sassy Water

1 pint fresh grape tomatoes

1 low-fat string cheese

 Glass of Sassy Water  

SNACK

Blueberry Smoothie:  Blend 1 cup fat-free milk and 1 cup frozen unsweetened blueberries in a blender for 1 minute.  Transfer to a glass and stir in 1 tablespoon cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil or serve with 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, without the shell.
