So here is a condensed version
breakfast
special K cereal with banana's and 1% milk
or
smart ones muffin
or
fruit
french toast made with light white bread
pancakes made with fat free bisquick
lunch
turkey sandwhiches (97% fat free turkey) with light mayo on light white bread
or
Ham sandwhiches (97% fat free ham) on light white bread
or
tuna fish
or
fat free hot dogs
baked lays potato chips
celery
ritz crackers (5 crackers 2 points)
dinner
chicken marinated in fat fee italian dressing made on the george forman grill
spaghetti with a little bit of olive oil or 5 quick spritzes of the Pam olive oil.
steamed veggies
baked potato
salad
snacks
smart ones
ice cream
snack wells
fat free enterman's pound cake
teddy grahms
fat free mozzerella string cheese
air popped popcorn
I use equal instead of real sugar (or sweet and low)
Diet sprite or water instead of regular soda
1% milk instead of whole milk
I cant believe its not butter light instead of real butter
and just proportion everything. Instead of 2 huge bowls of pasta, one small bowl and a big salad. A salad is good with dinner b/c you definatly feel full.
I dont each chocolate or cakes. I try and eat popcorn or crackers as a snack. Both are filling.
Make sure to get dairy and veggies in. I dont drink as much water as I should. Usually 2 big WW mugs of water a day I have. But I make sure to get my veggies in with dinner
I also wont eat past 8pm. Sometimes I do if I cant avoid it, but I try to have dinner no later then 6:30 or 7pm. I understand for some its hard and they cant avoid a later dinner, but I try not to eat heavy after 8pm. I'll have a small snack at 9pm and i wont eat anything else till breakfast.
If i am going to have dinner past 8pm I try and have a small salad and some crackers.
I should definatly start journaling again. I dont. I know I should.
Dont worry, you can do it. Just stay focussed and you can definatly do it
