Today my good food choice was...

A bowl of sliced bananas sprinkled with unsweetened granola and almonds, very filling.

I made a big pot of spicy black beans this week, and a big pot of brown rice.  Served it last night with an avocado, tomato and red onion salad and multigrain tortillas.

My biggest challenge has been snacking.  I am running DD all over town for activities and find myself "out" with no healthy food in sight.  Does anybody have good choices to recommend for those days I don't have time to pack something for myself? What snacks do you order out?  

Popping in quickly as I am still at work, and haven't posted on this thread before but this is a great idea! I am trying to cut out sugar and go much lower fat.  My favorite cereal now is Uncle Sam - flaxseed and no added sugar but delicious, particularly with berries.  The other thing I am trying to do is add broccoli to every salad on the salad bar (I eat out more than I eat at home.) I've never been a huge broccoli fan but I am quickly starting to really like its taste raw.

Been off for awhile.  Been eating okay, have been better.  I will get back into this today.  Sweets and carbs are bringing me down.  So, I purchased a lot of fresh fruit over the weekend and have it chilled, chopped and ready.  Lots of bananas too.  Need to make them into smoothies.  NOT banana bread.

I have been loving this app on my phone too--My fitness pal.  I am back to using it.  I can tell...when I avoid this board and the app on my phone, I am being bad.  Guilt brings me back and feeling good makes me stay.

Thank god the Girl Scout cookies are almost gone. These are my downfall. 

Corinne you are too funny, but it's true! Me too! 

SAB I bought a pasta that was really good, it wan't enriched and had Jerusalem artichoke flour as well.  Not sure on the good for you though...

I also bought two packs of Ezekiel pastas haven't tried them.  The DH reached right past them and got the skinner brand out of the pantry - and admittedly so! lol.  

Went to Costco and was delighted to find so many organic products!  Bought strawberries, blueberries, romaine, applesauce, mac and cheese, olive oil, peanut butter, coffee, juice and chicken breast all organic and all reasonably priced.  Thank you Costco! Also picked up multigrain bread, whole wheat pasta and almonds.  Oh yes, a couple bad things "fell" into the basket but I was pretty pleased overall. Hope everyone is well.

Good morning everyone! I had tuna for breakfast!  I used just a dab and a really small one of low fat mayo and a bunch of mustard, but I like mustard, some pickle, tomato, celery, onion and pepper.  It was good, low carb and high protein.  I think I might be on to something....fish for breakfast? lol. 

Sagina, in northern Europe, fish for breakfast used to be a standard thing, English kippers, for example. I also used to work with Asians in restaurants in the US and a standard breakfast was soupy rice with flakes of salted fish on top. But what would brunch be without bagels and lox?

I had Ezykl toast, sugar free pnut butter and mozerella for bfast. I juiced. Chicken breast, asperagus, and salad for early dinner. Shredded wheat and berries for dinner.

SAB, lemon is the best dressing. Here in Greece, it is the standard dressing for just about any food, squeeze of lemon, splash of olive oil. Once you get used to it, it is almost addictive. Greeks also put it on simple boiled veggies of all kinds, and it really makes a difference.

Yesterday I had roasted veggies with a little feta for lunch. The roasted veggies were sweet potatoes, summer squash including the flowers, onions cut in quarters, lots of whole cloves of garlic. it is so simple, but really good. I crumble a bit of feta and scatter it over the top at serving time.

For dinner I had a grilled lamb on a skewer, with steamed greens. 

Sagina, I eat the garlic. Once it has been roasted, it is soft and mild and tasty. I kept the flowers from the squash back and added them the last ten minutes, so they wouldn't disintegrate completely.

I am not sure what we are doing for dinner tonight, but we agreed that we wanted to bring out the grill.  Thinking about grilled veggie kabobs and rice--or maybe salmon.  However, I bet that the rest of the family is thinking about hamburgers.  If so, maybe I will have a salmon burger or veggie patty.

I know!  Its is odd how badly your body feels when you eat unhealthy foods?  Now, since we have changed our eating habits, you feel physically bad and guilty on top of it!  Sweets is my downfall though.  I have to get past this.

As expected, the family all had steaks last night and I had a pc of grilled salmon and asparagus.  While they were all belly aching later on in the night about eating too much steak and potato, I felt good. 

Tonight we have to go downtown to pick up my running/racing packet for an 8k race that the hubs and I are doing on Sunday.  We will be eating out, so I am leaning towards finding somewhere with a good large summer salad, maybe with shrimp.

Beacon - good for you! We keep encouraging one another - celebrating victories, supporting one another during the tough times.  

The thing that is SO frustrating to me is that when you have a little sugar, you just want MORE. So instead of being satisfied with your 'treat,' you are just more dissatisfied than before! Doesn't seem fair.
