You are very welcome Pam! And the Truvia is perfectly fine, at least in my book. I say if you are going to use a sweetener, natural derived ones like Truvia & Stevia are best.

 

As for the fruit, one strategy that might help you feel less "fruit deprived" is to divide up a serving. Say you have half an orange, apple, cup of blueberries, ect. in the morning and the other half in the afternoon or whenever. That way you are still only having one serving of fruit per day, but it feels like 2. =)

If you are finding yourself frequently fatigued or not having quite enough energy for your workouts (like normal) then you might need to eat just a little more during the day. Especially if your new workouts are more taxing. (Jim if you read this and I'm wrong, correct me) :)

Awesome job today...and even more so for having the control to stop at one bite of the blizzard!
