Looking for Healthy Recipes & Tips! (The second part of "getting serious about getting in shape")

I'm on a "get healthy" kick, which I've mentioned before.  In fact, in a previous post, I discussed how post-it notes are going to help me whip myself back into shape.  For the record, I did do a 4.5 mile loop this morning - half walking/half running - but still.  1 post-it down, 20 to go - whoo!

Okay, so fine, I'll get back in shape, but I know I need to be a LOT better about eating healthy too or I'll never lose the dreaded double chin.   This Sunday, for example, I managed to house a cheese danish, fried chicken, a cupcake and lots of sweet tea - and that doesn't even include dinner.  No veggies, fruits.  Yikes.

I am NOT someone who can cut out foods - I'm like a little kid in that respect, the more I tell myself I can't have it, the more I want it and become determined to have it.  So moderation is big with me.

I'm going to have to break up with Chick-fil-a for a while :(

If I were still single & living in NYC, I would simply order out less and cook super simple meals - a veggie burger + steamed veggies for dinner, maybe chicken & veggies.  I'd definitely not keep much dessert in the house and would avoid fries at all cost.  Unfortunately, living with B complicates things.  He needs more than just chicken + veggies.  He wants tater tots, fried, bread, always a starchy side. And don't even get that boy near a veggie burger, things get ugly!

So I'm soliciting advice - what do you eat or cook when you want to "get back in shape".  More specifically, what are some healthy things I can cook that my picky "roommate" will like?  :)   Keep in mind we don't eat red meat in our house, nor do we do anything that is strictly vegetarian (I know, you must be thinking.."what the hell do those guys eat"..we manage, I promise, its just not always healthy).

What are you favorite healthy foods, meals & recipes?  Please share!!!
