I've been trying to eat chicken and fish with green vegetables at dinner. This has improved how I feel and has increased my weight loss. As I had suspected, the starchy dinners were very counter-productive to all the good things I've been doing throughout the day vis-a-vis diet and exercise.
The problem will be preparation. I simply do not have the time to make creative dishes. I get home and I have an hour to make and eat dinner with my family. That's not a lot of time! For now I'm not bored so let's wait and see.
During the day I need to eat more. I've been eating a banana and the two cups of oatmeal (one cup at a time - one in the AM and one in the PM at work). I eat about 10 to 20 raw almonds throughout the work day as well and I drink about 64 ounces of water. The hunger is distracting from my workout focus. This is the biggest problem. I'm going to try adding a turkey sandwich and maybe some soup into the diet throughout the day.
I weighed in today at the gym. Even despite eating a lot on Friday and Saturday, I still lost weight since the last weigh in. In the last 30 days it looks like I've lost about 10 lbs. That's great. If I can do the same thing (another 10 lbs) by March 31, then I'll really be doing well!
