Grilling is great!  My oldest son ends up doing most of the grilling and he does a really good job.  Steaks, chicken, hamburgers and foil packs of potatoes and veggies make cooking a lot easier (for me anyway!).  I'm really the only one in the family who eats the veggies but it's so easy to slice up a zucchini or sweet potato, add a little olive oil, and foil it up -- any kind of veggies work.  Sometimes the rest of the family eats the meat and potatoes and I fix up just the veggie packs for me - that way I can add the onions and peppers and mushrooms! (all the GOOD stuff!) Nutrition is going pretty well right now - sticking between 1200 and 1400 calories per day, eating five or six times a day, eating a variety of real foods from all of the food groups.  I just keep hammering this home to myself every day and stressing the calorie count, the frequency of eating, and the variety of real foods -- this is what's going to get me to a healthy weight and then will keep me at a healthy weight.  Keeping the bag of apples on the kitchen island helps me reach for one of them first for a snack.  Putting them away in the refrigerator puts them in the "out of sight, out of mind" category and I "forget" about them.  And the apples sit next to the oatmeal and almonds! There really is no easy way or quick fix -- this takes time and work and those are the other points that I have to keep hammering away to myself. (and with a hard head it takes a lot of hammering!!).  It's like a project that needs to be done that you keep putting off and putting off -- there gets to be a time when you say "enough is enough" and you have to start tackling it in order to get it done.  One step at a time and one meal at a time -- Be mindful!
