I’m so excited! 9 posts in and the numbers show 1,241 page views! This number is small compared to most blogs. But I’m a newbie! J And this means you’re reading!!
I’ve had a few people asking for meal plans and easy dinner ideas. First and foremost I am no nutritionist. But I do know what has worked for me. And that is hard work! I still have a ways to go.
It’s 70% what you eat and the other 30% is exercise. Diet pills will work. BUT they are a quick fix and short term. You will not maintain your weight once you get off of them. Plus it’s not healthy! Makes me sound like a hypocrite right? I’ve tried them all! But no more! How far I’ve come isn’t because of anything but living healthy.
Here’s the same word over again-PREPARE!! When you hit the grocery store you have two choices. Fresh or frozen. Honestly it doesn’t matter. (Unless you’re buying frozen dinners. Check out the sodium! YIKES!) I buy the frozen ready in 5, steamable veggies and keep them in the freezer. No I do not have kids but we have busy lives and I don’t always stand in the kitchen for hours over a meal.
I can walk in the house, open the frig and grab a hand full of things and be eating in 10 minutes. So many things are microwavable now. Like sweet potatoes! It’s as easy as rinse, wrap and microwave for 5 minutes.
Last night I was later getting home than usual. So I grabbed a broccoli steamables and grilled chicken and popped it in the microwave. Put the chicken on a 90 calorie flat wrap (in the deli section) with sliced avocado, hummus and salsa. Easy right?
If you need easy breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ideas email me! I'll send you a few more helpful hints!
It really is a lifestyle change! I have learned from experience. Starting out on my weight loss journey out of high school I tried several diet pills. Sure they helped give me energy. Sure I might have lost a little bit with their help. But once I got off of them and changed my diet and still worked out is when I REALLY started seeing results. I said goodbye to the fried food. Goodbye to desserts - for the most part - Goodbye to the diet drinks. By cooking at home you know exactly what goes into your meal and into your body.
