Where I live
Dinner, day 3 - Steamed chicken breast with Cajun seasoning, baby spinach, avocado, blueberries and a tangerine :-)
My grandson. I want to be healthy for him.
My cat keeps me sane :-)

Lots of carbs in my breakfast today, but I'll just have more protein at lunch and dinner.
5 days into my new lifestyle and I am ready to post my "before" photo. Hello spark people!
My celebratory, "I lost 5 pounds this first week", dinner: 1/2 cup each spinach, spring greens, blackberries, blueberries, red grapes, and turkey breast from the deli. It's dressed with 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil, and the juice of 1 tangerine. (I ate the pulp separately for the fiber.) I am so happy I found this site!
Week 2 day 1, 45 pounds to goal - this is the belly I want to be finished with forever. So unhealthy! So I will keep logging and keep moving and stay away from the banana bread!
Spinach, spring greens, cucumber, green onions, celery, radishes and blueberries dressed with garlic balsamic. Yum!

Decided to go meatless today with vegetarian chili for dinner. 1 can kidney beans, 1 can black beans, half a red onion, 1/4 cup of minced garlic, 2 stalks of celery, a tsp each cayenne pepper and cumin seeds, and then garnished with cheddar cheese and green onions
Take that, sugar cravings!
Spinach, chicken breast, tangerine sections, walnuts and garlic balsamic..tasty!
I turned on the meal plans yesterday, and I have been happily surprised at how much I love the meals they planned for me! And it's one less thing for me to worry about, I just printed up the weekly grocery list and went shopping Sunday. Tonight's dinner is a baked pork chop with everything but the bagel seasoning, unsweetened applesauce, and a baked sweet potato with nonfat yogurt and green onions from my garden. Yum! Not shown is a piece of multigrain bread.
4 miles this morning before 7am! And the forest was so peaceful and still I got some meditation time as well. I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!
Finally, a photogenic meal! Spaghetti with white beans and broccoli dressed with olive oil, everything but the bagel seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
Not shown: Breakfast, Plain yogurt, blueberries, multi grain toast, peanut butter.

Black beans, sweet corn, carrots, onions, garlic, quinoa/brown rice blend (1/4 cup each) on a bed of 2 cups of baby spinach. Dressed with reduced veg stock and paprika.
3 oz salmon fillet and 1.5 cups of green peas cooked in a teaspoon of coconut oil...yum.
I think this is the closest I've come to meeting all the ratios for the day. Proud of me.
Chicken breast, asparagus, radishes, and tangerines...yum.
Dinner salads for the next 3 days(red cabbage, pea pods, celery, carrots), just have to add my garlic balsamic dressing and a protein each day. I had a burst of energy and decided to prep!
One of my meal prep salads with added garlic and my garlic balsamic (double dose of garlic there is a bug running around the park) and roasted chicken breast with everything but the bagel seasoning.
Chicken breast, asparagus, carrots, and frozen grapes....tasty!
I cracked the 150s today! Woot Woot, haven't been there this decade! Just keeping up my slow and steady progress of walking and eating halfway ok. I feel great, 56 pounds lost total so far! 24 to go and lots of time to get there :-)
