    Hi! I am 47 year old woman with 2 grown kids and a 22 month old granddaughter. I travel 100% of the time for work and have put my career ahead of myself including my eating habits and health. I have been working with a personal trainer for 6 weeks now. And have lost 22 lbs so far. My struggle is my eating habits. She had me on a strict lean meat and certain veggie only. She has incorporated a few things like oatmeal 2 times a week. I have 2 days a week I can have good carbs but only for breakfast and lunch. No breads and no sugar.

    Any advice? Suggestions?

    Green beans, mixed veggies and stir-fry can become your best friends. Back when I was losing I had some combination of them at least two meals per day {along with some lean protein}. They are easy to prepare and taste very good. I use frozen when the garden is out of season.

    Now that I'm trying to gain back that extra five pounds I lost, I do eat bread and other carby food, but I gave most of it up when I was losing.

    Good Luck,

    Larro

    Today is my 20-week countdown start.

    So, of course I lifted!

    And, I am logging my calories.

    AND, to MAKE sure that I am "on-track" for the next 20 weeks, I approached an acquaintance of mine who is going to do a daily "text check" to make sure I have weighed in and am following my calorie-cut.

    Compliance is key. I need to be compliant to make strides.

    I got my lifting done, today. BOOM!

    And, I stayed right on track with my calories.

    I feel VERY IN CHARGE right now....that "mood" doesn't stick around long....so, while it IS HERE, I am really going to make hay while the sun shines. Keep lifting. Decrease eating. Log. Weigh. Repeat.

    Eating while traveling.
    Stopped at a buffet place for dinner. Completely filled my plate - with broccoli, green beans, peas, corn & small baked potato. Filled a second plate - with salad w/ a little dressing and some cottage cheese.
