Eating Plan

Kathy posting again this evening.  I had full intentions of outlining my exercise/fitness plan, but got sidetracked thinking about food.  I have struggled trying to figure out what to eat (ultimately for vibrant health, abounding energy, glowing skin) but my immediate goal is to shed (please notice Brooke, I did not say 'shred'!) a few pounds.  I am adamantly against diets!  They are a temporary fix to a permanent problem.  Well, hopefully not permanent, but apt to be if I keep 'dieting'.  What I want is a way of eating that will serve me well for the rest of my life. I have decided the path to weight loss and health is vegetables.  Is that not an earth-shaking notion?!  Here is my plan:
Breakfast:  (Nothing new here - I eat this pretty  much every day) green smoothie, hot cereal with soy milk and maple syrup. 
Lunch:  I brown-bag it.  I take a few almonds and a piece of fruit for a mid-morning snack..  At noon I have a sandwich and an apple, usually  I throw something extra in - such as carrot and celery sticks, some crackers or pretzels. 
Supper/Dinner:  I struggle with this.  For years I only ate 2 meals - a large, home-cooked breakfast and a large home-cooked lunch around 1:00.  Nothing in the evening - no starving, no weight problem.  I can't do that anymore.  I eat breakfast around 6:00 a.m., am starving by 10:00 and have a little snack.  Eat lunch between 11:30 and 12:00 and am hungry and ready to eat in the evening.  I have decided that my evening meal will be VEGETABLES - at least until I lose about 10 lbs OR ramp up the exercise.  Last evening I had a baked Yukon Gold potato with a bit of salt and some petite peas.  Surprisingly this tasted delicious to me and I felt full and satisfied. Plan to use all kinds of vegetables and see what happens.  Hopefully what happens is that I will lose weight!
