- I keep my breakfast simple and usually eat a lot of the same thing until I get tired of it and then I change it up. Right now my breakfast is the single-serving Greek yogurts (I like Chobani and Fage - low cal, low carb and high protein). I usually also have a banana for a snack before lunch. Other breakfast faves include 2 hard-boiled eggs with a banana for snack and cottage cheese with a spoonful of jam and an apple with 1-2 Tbsp of peanut butter for snack. Oh and I often drink redbull in the morning - a total treat (read addicition) for me. If no Redbull, then definitely coffee with frou frou creamer and sugar.
- Lunch - again pretty simple. If I am being really good, I make myself a large salad with a lot of rotisserie or grilled chicken (I allow myself as much grilled or rotisserie chicken as I want) with extra veggies that I have on hand for variety. Most importantly, I am picky about the dressing - my fave three are Gerard's Light Champagne, Maple Groves Citrus, or self-made oil and balsamic vinegar blend. If I am in a rush, I will take 2 pieces of bread and a jar of jam and make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a piece of fruit.
- Dinner - I love grilled chicken, grilled thin steaks, kabobs, rotisserie chicken, steamed veggies and rice. I don't deny myself food ever! I just try to be smart about what I am choosing - especially thinking about portions. Tonight I had pizza and it was brilliant - I just don't eat pizza all the time :).
I haven't started exercising regularly again yet, but that will come soon! Keep up the good work and I just remind myself that I get to make the decision with every meal and every snack. And for me, the number decreasing on the scale week after week is a big motivator for me. You can definitely do it - just start making changes that you feel you can do comfortably and then add new things here and there. It's all about how you think about it - once your head is there, the decisions get easier to make :).
