What's For Dinner?

Above are some of the meals we ate in the month of March.
1) butternut squash ravioli (Rana) w/portobello mushrooms, salad
2) spaghetti and turkey meatballs (Trader Joe's)
3) linguini w/ portobello mushrooms/spinach
4) mahi mahi burger (Trader Joe's) on brown rice (Trader Joe's) w/ broccoli/carrots

Night Time Snacking

 These are my usual treats:

*South Beach Bars = 100 calories
*Jolly Time Healthy Choice Popcorn = 100 calories per bag
*2 medjool dates stuffed w/fat free cream cheese and 10 cashews = 225 calories
 
I love having the popcorn and being able to eat the whole bag myself and sit and crunch on something slightly salty sweet for a while.
And I LOVE the yummy/sweet dates filled with fat free cream cheese...but I have to be careful with this one and work on limiting the cashews to the amount on the plate in the above picture.  I can get a bit too heavy handed with doling out the nuts.

Sometimes I will also have decaf coffee with my South Beach Bar which will add an additional 75 calories (because I must have non dairy creamer in my coffee).

Another snack I might have on occasion would be 1/2 an english muffin (toasted) w/ 1 1/2 T peanut butter for 200 calories.

A New Blog Feature

I decided I'd like to share a bit about my weight loss journey and how I've improved my eating habits.
If anyone would like to hear my story you may click on the link on the right side of this page that says "How I Lost Weight and Changed Bad Eating Habits".
I may incorporate posts to this blog from time to time sharing things associated with my eating plan such as menus of what I eat, food products I've discovered that we like and eat regularly (like quick and easy things from Trader Joe's), healthier food alternatives, occasional recipes, maybe some more before/after photos, etc.
I know I always find encouragement from other people who share about what they eat, before/after photos,  and their healthy eating habits.
So if you're interested in that kind of thing you may see a bit of it here on occasion.
