Picture of a recent dinner I had. I think it was 8/13/2012 or around that time. Looks like chicken, rice and broccoli. Well I weighed this morning and have lost another couple of pounds. I know I've been hungry a lot lately. I guess that's the way you feel when you eat the way I've been eating. I've been trying to stay on my diet as close as possible, but it's been hard to keep enough of the food I'm supposed to eat in the house. But I do the best I can . Hopefully as I go along I can get more organized and do a better job. I haven't been exercising as much as I should; but as I keep losing weight I'm getting more motivated. I did do the Ab Coaster Pro some lately, but need to be more consistent. Ok. With all this talk of exercise I think I will go exercise now. I might post my dinner later.

Healthy deviled eggs I found on Pinterest. Go there for the recipe. I might add it later.

Healthy Pizza!Looks Yummy! You can choose your own toppings. My choice would be Pizza Sauce, Lean Sausage, Mushrooms, Canadian Bacon, and Cheese.

This looks like something good to make using blueberries. I don't have the recipe, but you can probably find it ,or something similar, with Google.

Blueberries; a very good choice for a snack. They are very nutritious; and loaded with antioxidants. Good for your eyes and delicious too. They are also good in fruit salads , oatmeal, pancakes and waffles.

Ok; it's Monday again; a good time to reevaluate and see how things are going. So far today I've been pretty hungry and have been having a hard time eating like I should. :( I think what I will do is exercise on the Ab Coaster Pro after I get off of here and see if that will help me get back on track. I guess I could be doing worse though, after all I have lost about 13 pounds so far. Not too bad! :) I'm really tired today and that probably doesn't help either. I guess I will go exercise now and try to think about what I need to eat for the rest of the day.

So it looks like I'm going to be eating a lot of all these foods. They actually look pretty good!

Well we bought a new bathroom scales  yesterday so now I can keep track of my weight loss at home. I forgot to weigh this morning before I ate blueberry pancakes for breakfast ! Oh No! LOL! Oh well, it's Labor Day so I can weigh in the morning and call it the first of the week. Planning on going today to buy the 15 foods I need for my kidney disease diet. They happen to be diabetic and weight-loss friendly too. Plus generally healthy foods. They are : Red Bell Peppers, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Garlic, Onions, Apples, Cranberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Cherries, Red Grapes, Egg Whites, Fish, and Olive Oil. So it looks like I will be eating a lot of fish since it"s the only protein on the list. Ha! The dietition says I need to eat about 4 ozs. of lean meat per serving. I think maybe I can have a little more of fish. But it needs to be baked, broiled, or cooked without fat or with very little fat; unless it's olive oil. Ok I'm going to get on my way to get my diet food soon; so I will post again later.
