Need accountability- 1 mth before brother's wedding and 3 before my own

smileclc

Hey all!  I am about 40 days away from being a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding and about 3 mths from my own wedding and realized that I need to change my diet big time!  I drink about 2 cokes a day and have pretty much eaten whatever I wanted.  I work out about 4 to 5 times a week and meet with a trainer 3 times a week so I do not need to change my gym routine but it is what I eat!  Those brownie bowls by Duncan Hines are my downfall.. I fidn myself eating one of those each day.  I am 5'9 and I weigh 153.  When I was in the best shape of my life, I weighed about 148 lbs, so I need to lose about 5 lbs.  my trainer keeps yelling at me concerning my diet saying he is doing all he can to tone me up but it is up to me to change my diet.   I just need accountability from you all on how to lose the weight and the inches by my wedding date. 

my job is really stressful so I find myself mindlessly munching throughout the day.  Any tips on some good snack foods that you can eat at work that will not put on the fat?   I also need tips for meals you can make quickly for lunch or dinner...  I have found I am relying on frozen tv dinners and frozen meals in a bag and those are loaded with sodium and calories.

Thank you so much!  Best of luck to all of you during this crazy and exciting time in our lives! Just think we are all brides and are getting married!  How awesome is that?

what about for snacks almonds,carrots, apples, grapes (freezing them takes longer to eat)

for dinner: chicken, veggies in a can or frozen (put frozen in fridge and will be defrosted when you come home) (all you have to do is cook them on the stove or microwave so its quick) if you need something fast

as far as the brownies if you need the sweets find a health alternative like yogurt they have all different flavors now and if you freeze it taste great, sherbert, they have low fat stuff in the freezer section.

personally i think those duncan hines brownie things are WAY too sweet and i like sweet stuff.

these are just quick ideas off the top of my head

If you just cut the soda you'll be amazed at how fast those 5 pounds will fly off.

Like PP, just cut the coke all together- or coke zero if you HAVE to have one- and you should drop the 5 kbs quick.
