I am especially excited about the dinner- cilantro and lime? My favourites!! Why didn't I ever think of combining those with a chicky? My mouth is already watering.

Also, I would like to add that I'm pretty sure I achieved some sort of 'hero of dieting' status this morning. Kaitlyn woke up at 5:20am, so I promptly got up (okay, there was a little grumbling involved), went to the kitchen, and started preparing our packed lunches and healthy breakfast. That's right, folks. By the time 6:45 rolled around, lunches were packed, lattes' were made (skinny of course!), and we were chowing down on scrambled eggs and toast.

Here goes hoping Diet Day 2 is just as successful- although I am really hoping for a later wake-up call tomorrow...5:20 is just not cool.
