Shauna...when are you eating this "Nighttime snack"?? So I guess the "no eating after 7pm" rule doesn't apply to this healthy living?

we are also starting a new healthy kick... I am now done to my good weight... but still have some "body" work to do... maybe your new eating style might help :)

What do your kids snack on throughout the day? eat for lunch? Do they just eat what you are eating?

Sorry this is so long :)

You are so fun! For these most recent menu (this one) my eating times are as follows. . .5:45a (right before the gym), 830a, 1030a, 1230p, 3pm, 530pm. And if I get hungry in the evenings I usually eat a fat free Jell-O, fat free hot chocolate, or some low fat no sugar treat. The days that I go to the gym late I take out an am meal.

Good for you getting down to your pre baby weight ~ for me that is always such a challenge. You look great in your pictures. I understand the work on the body. I have actually started lifting weights. There are a lot of weight lifting exercises you can do at home. ~OR~ Jessika and Court started this new Power 90 video series that I guess is AMAZING and is just great news if you want to be toning!

Snacks for kids. . .it's amazing how fast the kiddos have switch . . .They don't really ask for junk anymore. I think if I waved it in front of their face they would for sure take it. . but. .they don't really ask. Great Snacks; Dannon yogurt (Super good for you), string cheese, fruit leathers, dried fruits (Mango, raisins, craisins, etc), fresh fruit, rice cakes (Honestly . . rice cakes are a favorite~they have all sorts of fun flavors. :)), Kashi granola bars, Jell-O, apple sauce. Any one else have any ideas? These are some Watson favorites.

Meals; I don't know about your kids, but my kids are extremely picky eaters.

Breakfast ~ I stopped buying sugar cereals. I now purchase things like Kashi, Special K, Fiber 1, Cheerios, and All bran. They actually eat it and love it. Breakfast is an easy one at our house because the kids love all breakfast food..We also do whole wheat pancakes, the apple waffles they LOVE. I found this great whole grain blueberry oatmeal that the kids can't get enough of at Wal-Mart. Alexander even had plain oatmeal with splenda, cinnamon, and some sugar free apples cider and loved it late last week. He ate it all and he is my pickiest eater. SO CUTE!

Lunch; We usually have a PBJ sandwich on whole wheat bread with a healthy snack. I am thinking about switching them to turkey and cheese on whole wheat bread (I think they will eat that). Sometimes we do low fat tortilla with a little cheese and chicken. And sometimes just simple plain chicken with a snack . . .usually a fruit. We are slowly converting the kiddos over to eating healthy. I just started this lifestyle switch like 5 weeks ago. :) I went cold turkey. . it was a little harder to get the rest of the family on board that fast. They are slowly coming around. Anyone have any ideas?? I could use them!

Dinner ~ I struggle big time with dinner for them. Usually once a week they have whatever it is that I eat. . .if they don't eat they go to bed hungry. That is really hard for me, but I would make a nice dinner and then they would want hot dogs or something crazy. They eat some fish, chicken, spaghetti (you can find whole wheat noddles). They have actually started eating more than just corn as a veggie. So we usually have a green veggie (broccoli is my favorite ~ put them in a plastic baggie in the microwave for 2 minutes and they are done). I don't have any set dinners that work for them. I need to find some healthy dinners that they like. My friend has a great whole wheat pizza. . . . I’ll ask her about it. Honestly, I'm just grateful I'm not feeding them junk pizza and mac and cheese. It was totally my choice, but it was all they wanted to eat. My little ones are skinny and I just didn’t want them to go hungry. Bad calories are better than no calories. . . not any more. You eat healthy or don’t eat.:)

Good luck to you! If you have any more questions. Let me know. Sorry I totally just wrote a book! Do you think I’m just a little bit excited??
