Although I workout religiously, the holiday weekends got the best of me. Pizza, burgers, ice cream and home-made apple pie. I knew I needed to try something drastic to get back on track.

So, I put myself to the test. 7 days of a strict diet with no cheating.So here’s my day by day recap of jump starting healthy choices.

Later, as I sipped my veggie soup, he decided to plop down on the couch next to me and finish our cookie dough ice cream.

None the less, I succeeded in fighting the constant temptations. Now, on to Day 2.
