food?

What kinds of foods are you ladies eating? I am going grocery shopping today and only want to pick up some healthy stuff. Its hard for me to cook since I work 1pm to 9pm. I seem to always be grabbing something to go. I love veggies and fruits. My downfall is pasta and bread. Its so easy to get those microwave meals but they're so high in sodium. I have 2 months to lose the weight I need...10 or 20 lbs. The more the better to try to fit into my dress and still leave my alterationist time in case she has to let it out. TYIA!

Just don't buy pasta and bread... 

Then you can't eat it. 

Or buy the reeeally healthful stuff that makes you not want to eat as much. 

I don't keep any frozen meals in my freezer. That stuff is awful for you. '

My grocery shopping is boring. 

veggies

fruits

nuts

some cooking basics (like almond/quinoa flour if I'm out, baking soda, etc) 

almond milk

Nothing terribly outlandish.

Chickpeas and cucumbers are my go-to munchie foods right now.  For dinner, chicken always works.

Lobster how do you prepare your chickpeas

Sometimes we bake them with a very light dab of olive oil and some seasoning - they only keep crunchy for about a day or two.  Seasonings depend on mood - everything from spicy (with some chile powder and cayenne), plain (with sea salt), or 'movie style' (a little bit of parm.)

I also put them into a chickpea casserole which has become one of our favorite meatless dinners.

I do a lot of Hungry Girl's recipes.  There was one this week for BBQ Chicken Cornbread Casserole with under 300 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving.  We eat a LOT of chicken.  FI likes beef so I buy the 96/4 organic beef and try to make a beef meal every other week.

lots of fruits and veggies, minimize most fat out of your diet, and if you do pasta then eat whole wheat noodles with smaller portions.

I like to snack on baby carrots, one thing of string cheese or one piece of turkey jerky. Its all about moderation We have two sets of large (regular sized) plates and a set of smaller ones. I have taken to using the smaller plates and making better food choices for my bigger meals. Instead of having beef burgers or steaks, we bought salmon burgers at costco and I gotta say that they are very addicting. One thing that is really helping me stay accountable for what I eat each day, is the website Lose It! I was completely lost when it came to counting calories and such; how many can I have and all that. The best thing is that it is a free site lol
