Lose 5 Pounds a Month- July 2010 Challenge

Bru-
I have an eating challenge idea for the 4th! Veggies on the BBQ:
Fill 1/2 your plate with salad and the other 1/2 with grilled veggies (or just raw veggies if you want) then eat the whole plate before going back for the "good stuff" like potato salad or burgers or whatever your having. That way not only do you get healthy calories on a hard eating day but you also fill up on the healthy stuff and wont eat as much of the bad because you first eat the good! :bigsmile: Sound good?

Maybe you could offer to bring a veggie plate.

I am feeling like this next week will be bad. Vacation starts after work tomorrow. We are flying to Oregon. Last was at my father-in-laws all they ate was junk. But we are spending 3 days at the coast at a place with its own kitchen so I know at least there I can try to cook healthier. And if I remember correctly there are lots of little road-side places that sell fresh fruits and veggies that were just picked out of the fields. They live in the valley and they grow tons of produce in the area. I do plan to taste wines at one winery, or maybe more. I plan to relax and have fun and yes drink, but plan to watch what I eat and get in at least a few runs.

Glad to see all the newcomers and YOU CAN DO THIS!

That would work as long as everyone has access to a bbq/grill. I,for one will not have access to a grill personally as I'm headed to a friends parents house (and they are they 'eat what is fixed only' type), but still plan on eating veggies this weekend no matter what
