So many leaves have fallen just after the ice storm and not all of them are brown.  I hope all of the trees will recover.  I think my shrubs are toast.

Tuesday - Tilapia with zucchini {off, taking my mother to eye doc}

Wednesday - Crockpot White Beans with ham hock, cilantro and chopped onion

Thursday - Turkey Eggplant Parmesan, corn

We are following some pretty straightforward rules for our healthy eating plan: 

adding in more mornings of oats, more beans, veggies to include okra and eggplant, apples/grapes/citrus fruits, nuts, and fatty fish. I am also planning our lunches so that we stay on track.  Servings are smaller and snack options are totally different.  I have stopped using creamer in my coffee and religiously take my vitamins every day, including fish oil, calcium, and biotin.  We are also cutting back on beer (whomp whomp), rice, bread, pasta, and potatoes.  I already feel better and have lost one pound.  (:
