  • Many large grocery stores have great salad bars. If they do not have a low cal dressing option just buy a bottled one. Good luck.

  • Good luck! One thing I can suggest is to focus on what you CAN do and get it done. Don't even think or talk about what you can't do. Instead of being afraid of failing - think about (and shout it) how you ARE going to succeed. You can do it!

  • Then make for dinner tonight - stop at the store on the way home. When I crave something - I always make a healthy version - or find a product that is low cal. That way you don't feel deprived.

  • No equipment? Grab jars/bottles from your pantry or laundry room (ie Clorox or Fabric Softener - but start with smaller pantry items). Do some reps!

  • Something small before workout - like a yogurt. After workout do something with great protein (helps muscle recover) - hard boiled egg or protein shake, for instance. Then you can make lunch a bit later - you won't be famished.

    in Turkey Tacos? Comment by 4lafz March 2011
  • I try to go over on protein! I also eat a small meal every couple of hrs - 2 breakfasts; 2 lunches and one dinner - plus snacks. You just have to find your groove and eat fresh healthy food. Good luck!

  • Good job on the extra workout. I would have done that too. The next day is a new day - put the bad day behind you and learn from it. You can go to dinner and the movies and stay on track :-) Good luck!

  • The ONLY thing that really works for me is Good Earth Caffeine Free tea in Original Sweet & Spicy. It is strong - like liquid gingersnaps and kills my cravings. HOT drinks work best - we are really seeking comfort. Diet Swiss Miss is good too - the 25 calorie one.

  • It is realy hard - you gotta push through it and it WILL come off. I work out so I can EAT. I lecture myself every morning to get myself motivated and moving. You have to want it - REALLY want it! Good luck!

  • Yep - you need to eat to lose weight. I put on and kept on a lot of weight over the years starving myself. Of course - then I binged too! Breakfast is especially important to kick start your metabolism for the day. I used to have to FORCE myself to eat it - now I can't do without it. Good luck to you :-)

  • Go to the grocery store. Buy some healthy grab and go items to easily grab when you are on the move. Fresh fruit, Luna bars or Zone Perfect bars, etc. Always be ready with emergency snacks.
