New thread idea...
So as u know the dh is in the process of joining the coast guard... he was told about a week 1/2 ago that he has to lose 6lbs by the 23rd.. so of course i've been healthy cooking and such..
i have to say - i am SO happy & feel SO good about eating healthy again! i had always eaten healthy - but for some reason since christmas i could just not get out of the habit of eating crap!!! i've just been in such a comfy routine of my bagel/coffee in the morning..and just carbs carbs carbs! i work in a mall, so it's been dunkin doughnuts(right downstairs  ) pretzles, etc... just UGH! and u know once u get into that habit - its just so hard to get out of! ANYWAYS, so for the last two weeks I have been on a health kick w/dh & OMG! i just feel SO good!! it's one of those "WHY haven't i been doing this all this time?!" moments.. i just feel lighter, healthier, more energized, etc... plus i can look forward to some of the cellulite on my a** diminishing lol  Got back to exercising too!
okay so all this to say - i have a new idea for a thread!! I'm going to call it "Healthy Eats" and each day we can post our healthy food choices  not only is it great encouragement for us all to eat healthy, but it'll be a great tool to get new ideas for breakfast lunch & dinner..sides & snacks too!

Re: New thread idea...
GOOD IDEA!
I eat low carb alot and find it helps to maintain my weight. I am also trying to cut dairy out lately (well I am not eating cheese every day, maybe a few times a week)
But anyway I need breakfast ideas that arent dairy, arent wheat and easy to grab on the go...?
Breakfast - I have been having a piece of fruit and nuts in the morning
Lunch - today probably soup because my throat hurts
Dinner - steak and asparagus on the grill
Snack - applesauce

I've been eating instant oatmeal by Quaker Oats called Simple Harvest. The Vanilla, honey and almonds one is really good. I just picked up the Maple brown sugar and pecans one.

I would love the recipe for the mango salsa if u'd like to share!
Sure it's a container I pick up at Costco It's next to all the hummus and dips. It's soooo good! I love putting it on top of fish and makes a great dressing on salads!
