Walk or ride your bike. That can be your cardio. I don't have far to go to my gym. It's across the hall from me :chuckles:

as for eating:
I try to drink a good amount of water every day, and if I do have any soda I have diet coke caff. free
morning Mon-Fri
Quaker Oat squares with skim milk
small glass of juice with a multi vitamin
brunch Sat-Sun.
2 eggs, 2 slices of toast, juice
it varries, but that is usually what I have during the weekend.
lunch Mon-Fri
brown bag lunch special
a small bag fresh carrot sticks
a small bag of mixed fruits such as grapes, strawberries, and pineapple
a sandwich of some sort, no cheese
dinner
I try to watch my portion size and make sure its not a super helping of food like I used to do. I also try to eat a lot of fresh foods, and veggies. I like fresh cooked broccoli, and most green veggies, raw carrots, baked potato, corn on the cob. I always make sure the main course has some protein so if I'm having spagetti I thow some meat in the sauce.
desert
if I do get the munchies I try to make sure I don't eat anything after 8pm, and if I like to eat fresh fruits. fresh pineapple is my favorite thing to munch on. its healthy, and gives me my sweet fix I sometimes crave.
sounds like a great plan that has served you well :goodjob:
