    Well, I just got back from Miss Ohio, so I wasn't at my place at all for 2 weeks and had NOTHING fresh in the house...
    I worked today and then went to the gym straight after and found myself famished!
    So I stopped by the grocery store and bought:
    - Chobani greek yogurt
    -strawberries
    -blueberries
    -grapes
    -coffee
    -creamer
    -sugar free fusgesicles
    -white cheddar rice cakes
    -peppered deli turkey
    -fat free whipped cream

    Essentially, I could live off all this stuff forever and never miss junk food .
    No veggies in there, but I had some frozen broccoli and brussels spouts at home.
    Anyway, hope this helps :)

    explore the seafood section!!!! salmon, tilapia, even cod and shrimp!!!! they have lots of healthy nutrients and are a good source of protein without the heavy fats of red meat!!! try grilling some fish with lemon juice a nice serving of veggies on the side and light and fit ( only 80 calories!!! ) yogurt for dessert!!!
