I haven't written on here in a bit. So I'd thought I'd fill you guys in on what I've been doing that actually helped get down to 150.

I try to eat clean. Which means less processed foods. Don't get wrong I have my cheat days. I eat eggbeaters and love veggies. So my usual in the am is a nice eggbeater omelette with fresh mushrooms and spinach. I drink water all day. Accept for my morning coffee with skim milk and splenda.

I looooove salads and I don't use any special dressing. I mean it's salad how bad can tons of romaine lettuce and grilled chicken or grilled steak be. I use Newman's Caesar dressing. The Non-creamy kind. For dinner I saute green beans or mushrooms or spinach or all of the above. Grill some chicken or steak. That's it. Keep it clean and make sure that I have more veggies taking up space in my plate than the protein I'm eating.

I grew up riding a bike and I started getting back on that. I bought a beach cruiser and a kid seat. "single mom" so I make sure I include my kid when I do my exercise. I also got into softball. I must say that keeping myself busy helps me not make so many trips to the fridge.

I work from home and that has been hard. I love to cook and so when I'm home all I think about is what I'm going to eat for dinner. As I'm thinking about that I'm actually eating breakfast. That's how sick my mind is. I just love food. I can't stop thinking about it. I watch the Food Channel and all the Shows about cooking. That's how passionate I am about food.

So when I say this wasn't easy believe me it wasn't. And I definitely have bad days. And I'm sure I'll have more bad days in the future.
