I weighed this morning and got a little discouraged. I haven't gained much, maybe a little, but I haven't lost any more either. I have started taking my own advise, though, and have been drinking more water today. I think it really does help, too. I've tried to keep a glass of ice water available, for me to drink, most of the day. It seems like as long as I have water available to drink it's a lot easier to not eat in between meals.

So here is my weight loss tip for day #2: 

2. Eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. These are naturally low in calories and free of any bad  fats. If you fill up on healthy low calorie foods it will help you eat less and avoid the foods you need to avoid.

Here is a recipe for the day:

                                           

                        Baked Whole Roasted Chicken with Lemons, Oranges, Onions and Vegetables

1 Whole Chicken; 3-5 pounds.

1 Lemon cut in wedges.

1 Orange cut in wedges.

1 Onion cut in wedges.
6-8 Large Carrots cut in chunks or several Baby Carrots.
6-8 Potatoes cut in chunks.
1 pound Green Beans.
Butter or Olive Oil.
Seasoned Salt or Seasoned Salt Substitute.
Pepper.

Rub the Butter or Olive Oil on the inside and outside of the Chicken and under the skin.
Season inside and out with the Seasoned Salt and Pepper.
Place the vegetables on the bottom of the 11x13 inch baking dish.
Stuff the Chicken with the Lemon, Orange and Onion wedges.
Place the stuffed Chicken on top of the vegetables.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes or until golden brown and the juices run clear.
