and so goes my day

so, after the whole, hideous, wonder soup-ing detox diet...the numbers on the scale didn't quite hit the YAY! button in my head.  but the required loss to hit that button would probably have been quite bad for my health so, all is not lost.  i was afraid to, but this morning, i stepped on the scale again (after breakfast even!) and the loss is being maintained!  YES!!!  it's still on, world.  i'm trying to eat less calories a day and am following a meal plan - this one actually allows me to eat, though, and i'm feeling quite positive that I CAN DO THIS.  truthfully, i feel like this is actually teaching me about eating healthy - i always thought i didn't do too bad, but i'm coming to see that fruits and vegetables weren't the bulk of my diet which they are now becoming.  i'm also doing a lot of research about different metabolism-boosting foods and trying to encorporate them into my meals.  it feels good, to be doing something good for me.
