It is now November, and I have lost a total of 89 pounds. Only 29 more to go.

Another good tip of the day for everyone.  Leftovers are a great salad topping.  I love to put on supper veggies or main course with my lettuce with my favorite dressing.  Always keep dressings down to one or two teaspoons.  If you are at a Restaraunt, have the dressing on the side so you can control how much you eat.  Dressings are usually made with oil or mayonnaise.  (Lots of fat and calories).  I keep my meat size to 2-4 oz. depending on the meat.

V-8 Juice is a great filler if you get a little hungry and it is very healthy too.  4 oz. of V-8 is only 25 skinny calories.  I love the spicy kind.  Another tip use V-8 instead of regular tomato juice in your favorite soups and stews.  Gives an added smack of flavor.

Healthy does not mean bland.  Use lots of your favorite herbs, play around with fusion food. Mixing your favorite flavors.  I love Indian and Japanese food, so I often mix them together. Those flavors work together surprising well.

Fresh is great for a diet.  So many fresh vegetables cook up fast in the oven roasting or stir try on top of the stove.  20-30 minutes many times or less. Poof Food.
