Preparation Pays Off

Preparation does indeed pay off. Having the foods that I needed to eat in my cupboards worked.
I was able to stay on track and meet my goals.

Yesterday, I was able to kick off my journey and meet my goals. My day got off to a good start exercising on my health rider, eating a bowl of organic cereal with almond milk and I snacked on fruit during the day (grapes and orange).  My filtered water bottle allowed me to drink 80 oz of filtered water! I was able to drop my bottle in my purse and throughout the day when I was off to meetings, my water bottle was right there with me.   A big healthy salad of organic veggies- romaine lettuce, broccoli, red peppers, sun sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and cranraisins with fat free salad dressing and a baked potato with veggie shreds (lactose and cholesterol free) made up lunch.  I was surprised to find  that after eating my salad and potato, I was full! Dinner was raw veggies and a turkey sandwich. 

Today, I am continuing to be on track with my goals and was able to reach for a snack (chocolate fruit crunch- from Wellness foods) when I had to rush off to an engagement. Really pleased that I met my water goal. This has been such a challenge for me in the past. Already I have hit my 60 oz of filtered water- so will easily get to 80 maybe even 100 oz before the day is over.

Getting ready to sort through my recipes to ensure that  I am prepared for the holiday and have some new dishes that are healthy.

My interview with Jennifer who has lost 90 lbs reminded me that focusing on new food discoveries will make it easier to stay on course. So it's not about what I am giving up, rather it's about what I am gaining!  Join me on my wellness journey.

I'm serious- I choose to be healthy!
