I picked some regular meals that I repeated over and over. Breakfast: chocolate Slimfast blended with coffee, banana and ice oatmeal with rice milk, raisins and applesauce oatmeal with rice milk, blueberries and walnuts 2 eggs on whole wheat toast with coffee Lunch: turkey, lettuce, cheese wrap BIG salad with boiled egg and cheese leftover soup (I make potato soup or taco soup often in my crockpot) Dinner: ONE serving of whatever the family was having (measured!) steamed vegetables with chicken breast BIG salad topped with can of sardines Snacks: fruit, baby carrots, sliced cucumber, broccoli, nuts, green tea, a spoon of peanut butter Keeping my extras within my goal calorie range -- office birthday cakes, Halloween candy, church dinners, restaurants (eating 1/2 and saving the rest for another meal or sharing with the children) Discovering that I could eat vegetables without smothering them with dressings and I could drink tea and coffee plain or with a splash of skim milk I am super busy with more than full-time work (I teach part-time, as well) and five children. Buying precut vegetables is more expensive, I know, but it's been so easy to pack every day. Even my children are reaching for carrots and hummus or salads for snacks on their own. water, water, water -- It's almost the only thing I drink. I just don't want to exchange calories in drinks for food anymore. beginner workouts - I still enjoy Jane Fonda's Prime Time series or Mirabai Holland. I started back with these after my surgery, and still pull them out to get something in. I used to complain that I could not lose weight. I finally determined that my calorie needs are lower than most. I'll have to keep track for a while, I'm sure, to determine my maintenance needs. |
