  • It feels SO good when someone notices! Keep up the hard work!
  • My trainer gave me some meal plans to work off of and convenient shopping lists that I use for most of my shopping.

  • The tomato basil bruschetta sounds awesome
  • I made some Sizzled Citrus Shrimp Kabobs for a work BBQ. They were great to keep me from getting into the burgers and hot dogs. The recipe is from the Essential Eating Well Cookbook that I use. I toss the shrimp in fresh lemon juice squeezed from one whole lemon, several tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of crushed…

  • My trainer told me to weigh meat after its cooked.

He says to use the green tortillas, grilled meat, lettuce, chili and cilantro if you like them, and a squeeze of lemon. I can eat them in the car as I drive (don't tell anyone). Its a good balance of protein and carbs and tastes good. I'm just…
