Monday's, this is the day I like to get all my cleaning, grocery shopping and laundry done. I don't know why but Monday's always worked for me before when I stated home. The weekend is always full of things to do with the family, even if it is staying home.
So, today after dropping the kids off at school I went grocery shopping. (The stores are dead on Monday mornings.) As I was walking through the ails of the produce, I remembered an article I read about healthy snacks for kids. -- My kids get too much sweet snacks and I am always looking for a snack that makes them and me happy. -- I bought a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. A lot of times when I do this it just goes to wast. This time will be different! In the article it talked about cutting up cheese and preparing the fruit and veggies so that the little fingers can easily grab when in need of a snack. It talked about different dips you can buy that will not add a lot of empty calories and also, placing the items in a place that is easy access for them. I have already prepared everything and I will lay it on the counter when the kids get in from school today. I will let you know how it goes.
Eating heather has been on my mind a lot lately. I have not been buying as much fresh produce and the main reason is because it goes to waste. Through this amazing experience of getting my heart and mind to line up with Gods will, I have really started thinking about what I'm eating. I am eating about 1/2 of what I use to eat in a day. Sometimes, the choices are not so great. I try to eat whatever my body is craving. I have found that I tend to want more junk, fast food and sweet things then fresh food. I think this is because that is what my diet consist of in the past. So, I have a new challenge this week, to eat more fresh produce. If I need a snack during the day, instead of reaching for a rice crispy treat, I will grab some of the prepared items I made up for my kids.
I have not listed my goals lately. I like to do this as a reminder for myself. To keep me accountable.
1. Only eat when truly hungry.
2. Chew my food well.
3. Walk as much as possible.
4. Eat more fresh produce.
5. Eat only until satisfied, not stuffed.
6. Go to the Lord when wanting to eat but not truly hungry.
14.5 lbs GONE!
I will give my ALL!
I will be good to myself

these are great goals. i also agree that it's a challenge to eat more fresh produce but it's so worth it. it's like getting a new habit. my body does better with fresh fruit for snacks than processed stuff. my health educator told me to prep everything as soon as i get back from the store cause this way it will be easier to eat it. i used to as far as get my cantaloup in little bags so i'd just take it to work for snacks. let us know if the kids like the snacks. i want to do the same with mine :) i guess i should have them first lol
