I just wanted to let you know that I have started a diet today. So, my posts will most likely be about what kinds of diet friendly foods I am trying at different restaurants and what I am trying at the grocery store. I would be lying if I said that I have never been on a diet before, but this one will work god damn it!!
I just started a seven week health class and our first assignment was to make a "healthy behavior change" she said something that you know you need to do but are dreading. So I put I need to loose weight. So this will be my journey to change my mind, body and soul!
So I am guessing that I will not be having and adobo meatballs for a while...but those do sound really good right now. On the flip side, I did go to the grocery store today and I found out that Special K has a lot of products-cereal, meal bars, snack bars, waffles and even water mix and they come in many different flavors. I was shocked to find out that the cereal is actually really good! I really like to variety with the chocolate shavings in it!!
I have also visited chillis recently. They have several new additions to their menu. Chillis happens to be right down the street from where I work, so my co-workers and myself go there on a regular basis. Anyway, they have a new salad that was really good. It had spicy grilled shrimp, corn, beans, cheese, pieces of corn chips, and pico/salsa. I really liked it. Thinking about it makes me want to order one togo tonight!!
My next post will be about finding a low calorie Starbucks alternative, because the diet book I am following says that is one place to avoid. I did not know that the grande vanilla late that I have been drinking daily for years has over 300 calories in it! So, I will be doing some research on this topic and I will be letting you meatballs know about healthy coffee varieties next week!!
But what I would like to know from you meatballs is what are some healthy alternatives to have on campus. I am a fan of those bagel hot dogs at Einsteins, and I do not think that I can do that anymore. Since I don't live on campus, I do not know about everything they have to offer food wise.

Kudos! I wish you much success it sounds like you're off to a great start. However, the Food Institute (think that's the organization's name) has recently tested the claims on some popular restaurants low calorie, low fat offerings and found they don't ALL live up to their claims.
