Life's "Little" Setbacks..

So, Michael and I were about to embark on our life-changing diet when..

STRESS took over!

*Kimmie's pile of unpaid bills
*Michael has moved into a house we have yet to close on
*Kimmie got sick with a sinus infection
*Rowdy is still not potty trained
*Michael is trying to unpack all his boxes
*Michael's washer/dryer wasn't hooked up until recently
*Michael has no internet or television service
*Our house still need to be chaulked
*Kimmie's job for next year remains uncertain
*End of the school year chaos to be expected

and so we haven't gotten off to a good start yet.

Foods that I will be including into the diet (whether Michael likes it or not) are:

Breakfast
*Blueberries
*Oatmeal
*Yogurt

Lunch/Dinner
*Salmon
*Tilapia
*Spinach
*Mushrooms
*Tomatoes
*Kale
*Chicken Breast
*Salad (including lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and fat free dressings)
*Avocado
*Nuts
*Whole Wheat Pasta
*Pita Bread
*Hummus (white beans, chickpeas, etc)
*Olive Oil
*Lemons and Limes
*Zucchini and Squashes
*Broccoli and Cauliflower
*Sweet Potato fries
*Black Beans
*Chiles (jalepeno, chipotle, poblano, bell peppers)
*Lentils
*other fruits and veggies
*Laughing Cow Cheeses (they're yummy and only 35 calories!)
*Eggs
*Skim Milk
*Low Fat Soy Milk
*plenty of Tea and Coffee sweetened with Splenda and skim milk
*loads of Water
*Diet Soda

I hope by controlling his food intake, the weight will come off easily for Michael. I know that I will feel more motivated to work out if we go together, so I think the weight will come off for me as well. Wish us luck!

God bless,

Kimmie
