I have to eat different and delicious things, can't just eat the same ol' chicken breast every day. I really love food, and there is no way this plan can be a lifestyle change if I don't feel satisfied with what I'm eating (been there, went nuts, gained it all back...more than once!)

Anyway, sometimes I run out of ideas, and boy is this a great place to get some! Thanks ladies!!!

Today we are having turkey brats on the grill. My family likes them on white buns, so I just have mine on 1/2 a whole wheat pita. I sautee peppers and onions in pam, and for ~260 calories I feel like I'm at the fair (sorta). I guess I'll make a salad with it, or some steamed veggies.

Last night I made pepper steak, just sauteed some lean beef strips with peppers, onions, and mushrooms, added a little low sodium beef broth and low sodium soy sauce, and thickened with a little corn starch. OMG it was GREAT!!!! I love those packages of rice in the freezer section you just steam in the microwave!

I love cooking and shopping, so it's easy for me. I also eat leftovers (easy AND satisfying lunches for work). I also love that my family is enjoying healthier, enjoyable meals. The last thing I want is for my darling daughter to have to go through what I am.

Best of luck!
