Are you eating until you are full? I wouldn't eat a certain "number" of food (i.e. four slices of bacon), just enough until I am satisfied.

The only areas that I would be concerned are that you need more veggies, then focus on spreading your veggies more throughout the day and to be careful on your cheese allowances.

Good to see that you are exercising daily!

Thank you!! I have a question -- how do you tell when you're satisfied/not hungry? I have trouble with this

Can you not tell? Normally when the stomack is filled the brain will send out a message - full. It is often a good idea to eat slow or to eat part of your meal and then wait and see if you feel full

The minimum for veggies is 3 cups/day. Either 3 cups "salad" veggies or 2cups "salad" veggies and 1 cup "other" veggies.

Try eating 1/2 of what you've planned & see if your body complains
