I bought some fresh veggies yesterday.  I'm going to try and roast some up with chicken cutlets and maybe whole grain pasta.  My DH hates whole grain pasta, says that it tastes raw. 

Any how, I bought fresh green beans, snow peas, carrots, cherry tomatoes, frozen broccoli, more garlic ( i LOVE garlic)  and asparagus.  I also picked up a bit of fresh spices: Rosemary, thyme and something else (sorry I forgot). 

I'm gonna look up some receipes for the chicken

thanks all.  I've really enjoyed reading some of your ideas..... I really want to try that cajun ratatoullie.  Mmmmm.  I will definitely try these out.  As for puree, I've done so in the past.  I use something called sofrito in my food which consists of peppers (red & green) ,onions, garlic, cilantro and this other little thing that looks like a mini pepper (dont know what its called i just buy it) 

So I usually use that but I like asparagus on the grill and in a homemade garlic sauce.  Mmmmm Asparagus

I still want to try new things please keep them coming. 

you know the funny thing is that I keep my daughter away from the sweets and junk food, but i can't limit myself.  And my excuse to her is that its big peoples food or its not good for you. 

IM DEFINITELY CHANGING HABITS ASAP all i need for her to say is that mommy you eat it so i eat it too.  or better yet i'm fat because you made me fat.

I think we all forget to drink as much as we should.  I have a bathroom on the floor below me it's just getting there on time and getting back!!!! I usually have a prep (maybe 2) period and lunch but thats not enough!  I've set my goal to stay in my room for lunch and listen to some soothing music.  Lets see how that works!! LOL 

1st I must say that I am amazed on how many of us say eating healthy is school is hard.  I dont know about the states that you all live in, but here in NY they are implementing a "healthy" lunch menu for students.  But if we're all saying its hard for us to eat healthy then how healthy is it??????

As for chocolate during planning periods OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is sooooooo me.  I'm on the 5th fl so I was lazy to go down to the vending machines. But as brneyedtxgrl  said those vending machines call me so I end up sending a student down to the machine with a couple of bucks for chocolate chip cookies!!!!

I'm also planning on bringing healthy snacks this year 100 calorie packs or less.  I really need to lose this weight~!!!!

Oh and as for being a mentor a mentor of any kind is still an educator! 

Thanks all!! Wandy

I'm an OT working in a school-based setting.  Does that count???  I find it nearly impossible to eat properly at work.  I cover 8-10 buildings a week, so I find that I often eat in my car between buildings. 

Enjoy your remaining summer break!!!

Of course it counts!!!

Congrats!!!!  Keep up the good work!!! Wishing you lots of luck on the baby!!

I would definitely get work done on my stomach.  I can deal with the big butt.

Is it too late to join?  I'm new to CC+. Im 30 weigh in at 290 and I'm 5' 4". MY heaviest was 302 lbs.  My smallest was 110 in 12th grade. I have a 2 year old daughter that I use as my baby weight excuse, but I believe after the 6  month mark I can't pull that excuse any more!!!!  I'm planning to join a gym next week.  Searching for 1 in my  neighborhood.  I need to loose at least 100 - 150 lbs.  I know I have to take it a step at a time but I have to lose this weight!!!
