My easy dinner would be the chili bean recipe a few pages back. Just substitute turkey instead. We made them yesterday and it tastes great! Tonite is the same so this will be so easy, just warm it up and your done!

Thanx for asking hun. I am doing great just been so busy the last few days with store trips and all, yesterday I stayed home and tried to relax, didn't get by here though. I will post my menus and exercise and stuff tomorrow, you all will probably be surprised how well I am doing!! Like 1200 cal days! I had that one really high day on tuesday w/ the birthday party but the next morning I kicked my butt and have actually lost 2 pounds since last sunday already! I have been too full to eat more than that!! Everything in moderation that is for sure! Good luck with finals and be careful skiiing!

asmine, didnt have time to read everything, but I dont use any artificial sweeteners. Buy plain unsweetened yogurt and add all fruit jam or cinnamon and vanilla extract. cinnamon and van ext. both add sweetness without sugar. Eventually if you add less and less of the jam, your palate will adjust to less sweet. I eat plain unsweetend now straight and prefer it. Its one of the reasons I DONT use artificial crap is if you just reduce your sweet intake, you reduce your taste for sweet. I had a wheat thin the other day and I swear to god it tasted like it was dipped in honey, thats how sensitive I am now to sugar.
I agree with ya on all that. Since I have changed so much and cut out the soda, then only drink diet even once in a while now my craving for sugar has disapated. It has been like this for several months. I was really bad with not being in control of my eating when I was still having potatoes often too. But once I cut them down to once a week and got firm and started counting cals, I rarely ever want something sweet! Usually like once a month I will get a carving for bana cream pie or something so i tell myself once a month we can have cake or pie. asmine, didnt have time to read everything, but I dont use any artificial sweeteners.

Yogurt, I do love yogurt and am seriously not wanting and fake sugar whatsoever. I did get one yogurt that was comepletely plain and was a bit shocked at first. haha But I am a trooped so I was going to mix it up with some fruit or something but when I went to reach for it the darn thing froze in my fridge!!! None of the other yogurts did! haha
I will try again next week or with the plain kefir~more on that kefir tomorrow.

I started knowing about the artificial sweeteners even splenda then too much regular sugar which I just found that the light yogurt, that I loved, had 14gms in it. I knew it tasted to good to be true!! Then milk shouldn't be pasturized. I am in big touble. I remember my mom when I was younger going out to a farm to get fresh milk and it was so good!! I wonder if you can still go to a farm now to get unpasturized milk?
I have read the states it isn't legal to sell at a store you may be able to go buy from a farmer. You see everyone? This is exactly what I am talking about! People years ago did NOT have heart disease and diabetes and all this crap we have now!!!! They also ate and drank a ton of dairy and meat and stuff high in fat! They didn't have "low fat" back then!! You know what they didn't have? Processed foods, canned foods, a bunch of sugar, a bunch of crap added to their foods!!!! I pick up a can or a box of anything and I do not know what half the stuff on the list is!! They had organic, fresh food and limited acess to sugar!!! This health crisis is rediculous and I for one am sick to death of us being unhealthy and getting fat because of it!!

My daughters boyfriend is having heart problems, they were to go to Riu Ocho Rios Jamica this Sunday and he was told from the specialist yesterday now, that he can't fly. I feel so bad for them, this was there first big trip, my daughter is being a real trooper though about the trip, obviously more worried about him then anything, he is haveing an angiogram on Tues. and possibly angioplasty or stents, they are too young to be dealing with this stuff, she is only 29, he is a bit older. They unfortunately did not take out cancellation insurance though, so will lose a good chunk of money. If any of you are travelling in the near future get the ins. Anyhow she called today and asked if my husband and I would take the trip if they could get it transferred, we discussed it and though we do not have the funds to pay them now, she feels at least it would be better than losing the money they paid out, if someone could go. My son can't as he has to many meetings and is starting his holidays the 15th, so has to be around. So at the moment we are waiting to hear if they will transfer the trip to us, I have such mixed feelings, I want to be home and be with her at the hospital while she waits for her hubby while he is having the angiogram, I feel devasted for them as they were so looking forward to the trip. My daughter says she is glad it happened here, not when they were away, she is thinking of it as a blessing. I feel excited we might go, but sick for the two of them and what they are dealing with.

I also am worried about trying to diet and exercise while away. I will deal with that when we hear later on today.
Just remember this is not a diet, this is your new life. My recommendation of course would be to eat nothing but fruit and/or yogurt for breakfast. For lunch have healthy turkey and tomato, maybe with cheese sandwiches! Go out for dinner if you can, plan ahead and see online if any places have a menu nutrition guidelines, I know dennys does. Plan it out that way. Make sure you treat yourself at least once with something you really like. The rest of the time make healthier choices!I also am worried about trying to diet and exercise while away. I will deal with that when we hear later on today.
