What's up? Eating healthier!



It's time to get into shape - my typically pear shaped body is morphing into an apple. I've been thinking of how and when to start - trying to get into a good state of mind - and I'm finally there.


I went grocery shopping this morning and bought the supplies I need to eat healthier. I've done this enough times to know what helps me stay on track. Here are three things I must have:

1) lemons- I slice and freeze it so it's always available in my freezer to add to my water. I'm not a fan of plain water and tend not to drink much unless I lemon it up

2) snack bars- The ones I bought today are around 150 cal and 5-7 g of protein

3) fresh fruits and veggies- This requires me to go grocery shopping more often (aauugghh)but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! I'm making some fresh salsa today -yum!

This part is new - I'm going to start "Weigh-In Wednesday". Each Wednesday morning I'll weigh myself and post my results here. Sadie said I can post her weight loss on here also. I'm hoping this accountability will help me stay on track. Amanda's blog "New Year...New Me...Diet Details" has inspired me to blog about my weight loss journey. Honestly, I've been down this road so many times it's bordering on ridiculous! Might as well do it one more time and I'm sure it will help to have friendly faces traveling with me!

  2. I like to write everything down too. I keep a list going at my house. Sometimes it's hard to know though, what's in EVERYTHING....so a book I like, is called Food Counts. It's awesome!!
    Welcome to the blog world!

  3. Maybe I can blog about my weight gain and my growing belly. If this pregnancy is like my last, my doc will tell me for 9 months that I haven't gained enough weight...so I'll pick up the slack and eat those extra girl scout cookies for you :)
