It pays to read food labels
In my effort to cut down on the amount of meat I eat, I decided to try some recipes with tofu. This weekend's recipe was tofu with a coconut/curry sauce, tomatoes and scallions. I read the calories and ingredients on the coconut milk can while in the store but didn't notice the saturated fat until after the meal was cooking and I was entering the food into LoseIt. I was horrified to learn each serving would have more than 20g of saturated fat! So much for a healthier meal. Lesson learned. I will find another curry and tofu option next time.

Win some lose some, that is what life is all about. But you tried something new, and learned something new as well. You have come such a long way in 3 weeks, just think about how much excitement there is ahead of us. Good luck and may you be blessed everyday.
