Grocery shopping went really well. I bought lots of chicken breasts, lots of veggies and tons of fruit and salad. Tonite I am having chicken breasts browned in olive oil and then adding mushrooms, onion, green peppers and will probably just have a salad to go with it. That sounds alright doesn't it? I consider you my diet guru right now so I'll probably be bugging you quite a bit..lol. I wanted to ask you about sweet pickles. Are those something good to snack on. I know they help stop my craving for chocolate somewhat so I was hoping they would be ok to have. I really like fruit and don't know why I don't eat more of it. I bought lots of apples, peaches, grapes and bananas.

Have you got your exercise in yet, Christa?

That sounds like a great dinner, I would add some brown rice and its YUM! I like to steam my veggies, then squeeze lemon on top.

Fruit is great, but it should be avoided in the evenings because of the sugar content. If you are really having a sugar craving, OF COURSE fruit is much better then a big chocolate bar, but in general, try to eat fruit earlier in the day.


I am having steamed fish, brown rice, and salad tonight!

Oooh, a note for brownie addicts like me: Trader Joe's has a brand of brownies called "No-Pudge Fudge Brownies" that comes in a hot pink box. You make them with vanilla yogurt. I have NEVER had a nonfat brownie that I liked, yet when I made these...well, I only got two because my boyfriend at the rest, but they're AWESOME! Plus, you can make them individually.
