Wow! I want to share this story right off the bat! How I Lost 115 Pounds This woman had massive motivation to get started, but she's using some of the techniques I'm trying. She set a goal that is much larger than mine (and I'm hoping mine doesn't take as long), but hearing success stories is such a great motivation!
Alright! So, today! Feeling a lot less sleepy, thankfully. (Even though I was a pain in the butt to wake up this morning.) Had some PB&J toast, a Tubby's sub for lunch on the way home from practice, and then Nate made a scrumdiddlyumptious cheeseburgers! I made a big salad to go with it, and we had some no sugar added raspberry vinaigrette. So yummy! I'm planning on some fruits as snacks at the bowling alley (as a spectator only), and perhaps a nice dinner and a trip to the casino tomorrow?
I do have one link for today. 15 Small Diet Changes
This article is pretty neat, because it has tips and tricks from a bunch of different experts. I LOVE number 4, eating a salad every day. That is something I can and would love to do! I had salad tonight for dinner, and definitely love my veggies (broccoli is growing on me), so this is a rule I could live by. Another rule that I would like to add to my cause is number 9, protein at every meal. While the description about this rule is brief, it says the key words: helps stave off cravings. The protein will fill you up with stuff your body needs, and prevent you from craving the things that are bad for you. Number 12, choose Greek yogurt will be a tough one - at Costco they had samples of Greek yogurt with fruit in it, so I decided what the heck, I'll give it a try. I've never been a fan of regular yogurt, so I didn't know how this would go. Turns out I don't like the Greek kind either! It was a lot more tolerable than the regular kind, but half of the sample size was all I could manage (it equaled about one spoonful). The last rule I'd like to comment on it number 15, try new recipes. Nate and I just talked about this one today, and we're definitely going to sit down with the multitude of cookbooks I bought when Borders went out of business. We want to pick out some recipes to use in the slow cooker (greatest invention ever), and some salmon recipes to try, and then get rolling on those next weekend.
I do need to get honest here for a moment. I need to keep the walking/riding thing going! Mom is switching her gym membership to a location closer to home, so hopefully I can jump on that bandwagon in the next week or so. I just wish this weather would clear up! I was loving the mild winter we were having - I wish it would come back!
Still waiting for that healthy mac and cheese recipe! Good night!
