Everyday I try to make sure that I come up with something healthy for myself and the hubby to eat. We are bent on changing our lifestyle. Hitting the gym at 5am every morning. I also go to Zumba 5 times a week and go to Hot Yoga every day.

Changing the way we eat helped us achieve the weight loss. I am so glad that the husband and I are both on the same page. It is really a challenge to lose/maintain weight if your other half isn't very supportive of your fitness goal.

I used to not like fruits and yogurt. But for the past 5-6 months now, its been my go to food especially when I'm running late or dont have enough time to eat before I go to yoga or zumba. I eat my "proper" meal after my activities. Its hard to dance around with a full belly. LOL.

Here's an example of our morning meal. I also am posting the nutrional facts for those interested to know. My husband eats a little more than me btw LOL. This is just my meal.

Scrambled egg with tomatoes and spinach
Mixed fruits (Kiwi, Raspberries, Strawberrries & Grapes)
Activia Fat Free 100g

Since I'm reading this while eating lunch, here goes:

Homemade chicken, date & apricot quinoa salad
Homemade curried butternut squash soup
Homemade spicy black bean dip with a couple of crackers

Here's one of my favorite breakfasts: Corn tortilla topped with spicy black bean burger [from Costco], add a dollop of Fage fat-free yogurt. Top this with finely chopped, sauteed multi-colored mini-peppers, onions and garlic. Add chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce. If you want more calories, add a poached egg on top or a second tortilla. Use lots of peppers. These little peppers are loaded with vitamin C and lots of other goodies.

I had a cup of homemade split pea soup for breakfast and will have a cup of broccoli/white bean soup for lunch in a few hours.

Braised bok choy is on the menu for dinner - it's part of me pushing my six year old to eat new vegetables plan

Yummm... great meal everyone!

Introduced a Jicama to DH for the first time in our fruit salad for lunch!

I like seeing what other people are eating!

Breakfast: Spinach, feta, and olive egg cups
Lunch: Roast beef, caramelized onion and Boursin on foccacia
Dinner: Baked pork chop with blanched zucchini

Today's meals:

Breakfast - English muffin w/ banana granola peanut butter, dannon toasted coconut vanilla greek yogurt, and a banana

Lunch - Sandwich w/ hummus, ham, baby spinach and a fat free cheese slice, baby carrots and celery sticks with fat free ranch, and white grapes

Snack - chocolate pudding made with soy milk

Dinner - boneless skinless chicken breast with a baked sweet potato and broccoli with shredded fat free cheddar! (edit: I was going to have roasted asparagus, but it went bad. Sad!)

Here's a picture of my dinner! It's purdy:

Yum! You make the best stuff!

I wasn't hungry this morning so my breakfast shake didn't get drank until lunch and my lunch went uneaten

Breakfast/Lunch: Protein shake- chocolate protein powder, almond milk, splash of coffee

Snacks:Large apple, 1/2 oz bag of pirates booty

Dinner: 2 servings worth of 90/10 ground beef, bacon provolone prego sauce, bag of Tuscan style frozen vegetables (6 servings)

my "meals" are small and spaced throughout the day....

I had 2 fried eggs with a slice of cheese on top at 830 a.m.
I had a protein bar around noon after my workout
I had a sugar-free, 12 oz mocha at 1 p.m. before work
I had a bag of spicy chips and a slice of spicy cheese at work
I had a 100-cal greek yogurt with dark choc chips mixed in at work
I had a bag of steamer veggies and some stronagoff for dinner at 7 p.m.

That will be all that I eat today. My eating goals are: low sugar choices, no food after dinner, and to keep it around 1500 cal.

I had delicious mockaroni and cheese, which I picked up from the low carb board recipes. It's cauliflower and cheesy goodness.

Mockaroni & cheese! Never heard of it,but love the play on words
