  • Yay! I received one too. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. Keep them coming!
  • Good morning! I hit 50 in September this year. It's been a year of change. I quit smoking. I gave up drinking sweet tea. I'm eating healthier and a bit of exercise. I've been a yoyo with my weight for over 20 years. Up, down, up, down. You get the picture and those are push ups! HA! I decided to do a LIFE change all this…
  • Roasted veggies. Pick up fresh veggies you like; brush LIGHTLY with a big of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt/pepper if you like them. Roast in oven (425 degrees) for 30 minutes. YUMMY!
  • Great job! You look beautiful in BOTH photos. Glad you are on the healthy track.
  • My conference is next week. :# So far here is my plan* Walk to the conference (1 city block one way and back each day) * Pack a few 'good' snacks - pretzels, dried fruit, dry cereal * Look for healthy options at each meal! * Watch my portions * Utilize the hotel work out room Wish me luck!
  • I figure I will toss in a few snacks, but I'm currently able to grab something constantly if needed that is healthy. Portion control is a must! Yep, I will have at least one night out too. Thanks for the input!
  • 3 days with 1 day of traveling. So 3 Breakfast at Conference, 2 lunches, 1 night out with group for supper at a restaurant, Plus I will have to find/buy my own dinner on the traveling day and lunch probably at the airport leaving. Last year (same conference, different city) there were a few healthy snack options and lots…
  • Hotel gym, now why didn't I think of that? Even a bit is better than none! Plus I am not staying at the Conference hotel, so I do at least have a block to walk back and forth every day. :) THANKS!
  • Cocoa Rice crispies, Kellogg's Special K Pastry Crisps, banana, pretzels
  • I like kidney beans on my salad.
  • Mexican Crock Pot Chicken. Very yummy and filling over rice.
  • Just wanted to report back that this was a HIT with the family! My 7 year old had it in a tortilla (like a burrito) with cheese and sour cream added for him. Plus rice on the side. The adults ate it spooned on rice. VERY tasty! I did use Rotel tomatoes with green chiles instead of 2 different ingredients and Kidney Beans…
  • Here is a recipe I am trying tomorrow in the crock pot: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=500905 I won't be adding the black olives; have 1 that won't eat them. Probably will serve over rice.
  • I work at a University. ;) However, I am an on-the-run type breakfast person. I love oatmeal (there is instant, frozen, with fruit). I also eat half a bagel, spread and usually a banana. Something I can toss together the night before. Lunch - I love white tuna (in water/drained) mixed with a Tablespn of lite mayo and…
  • Exactly what Need2Exerc1se said! I do mine 'easy' with basically just adding in veggies to scrambled eggs. My youngest loves broccoli. I like it with sauteed bits of yellow squash, zucchini and bell pepper. Almost any veggies will do! Great to use up leftovers for a quick meal.
  • I love Taco Soup and our 7 year old little boy does too. Easy to do in the crock pot all day. Pancakes (the mix that's add water). Add fruit or fruit/yogurt mix on the side. Omelets with veggies mixed in (I love Breakfast for Dinner bc we rarely eat a big breakfast!). Pintos in the crock pot (we love them with a bit of…
  • Feel free to friend me also. My diary is open to friends, I'm logging each day (but just started a week or so ago), PLUS I am working with a nutritionist and support group weekly through a free work program.
