While I've been away from the forum, DH and I have both lost ~60# with combined diet and exercise since the first of the year. I know many of you living this B&B lifestyle struggle, like we do, to find time to take care of yourself and your health while you're so busy running around taking care of everyone else. I have found a recipe website that features a very common sense approach to making everyday meals flavorful and healthy, and it's been a real asset to me in trying to keep our food interesting. I really like that most of the recipes on the site are for 4 people, so we get two meals out of each one.
The site is www.skinnytaste.com. Gina basically follows a Weight Watchers style of calorie budgeting, she lists WW counts for her recipes but also just normal calorie/fat, etc counts if you're keeping track the old fashioned way. This, in combination with the free App and website www.MyFitnessPal.com are the tools that really got us going and kept us on track.
And honestly, every recipe I've ever made from this site has been YUM! We are up to our knees in her Skinny Pumpkin Granola, great time of year for it.
