My personal fitness journey has had it’s ebbs and flows.
/Side Note:/ I will say associating myself with the right
people helps. Familiar faces have helped me to stay motivated to work out and I
prefer to do so in the evenings as of late…We’ll see what happens when school
starts though.
Like most people, I eat with my moods.
No, I don’t eat my feelings.
But I will say:
When I’m feeling content it is easier to eat well.
When I’m feeling sad
It’s easier to seek out comfort foods.
I constantly have a conversation in my head about what I eat
and I must say it has paid off.
Even at my HIGHEST weight I am at a deficit from when I
started.

I have found keeping good foods around me is helpful. I keep instant oats, cereal, plastic ware and styrofoam/microwave safe bowls in my desk drawer at work...This is Smart Start Healthy Heart Original Cereal with blueberries and Almond Breeze Milk...
One of my biggest accomplishments is preparing my clean
kitchen.
Fresh corn shucked and ready for steaming
Clean cosmetically and clean with fresh foods.
It’s something therapeutic about prepping healthy snacks for
the week as well as home-cooked meals.
A healthy Kitchen is a happy kitchen…and a happier me as
well.
Apples, Plums and Berry Bags for snacks...
I had some fresh Brussels Sprouts on reserve in the freezer,
so I tried this recipe that’s super easy.
It was from the food network.com here.
Of course I had to soul it up with my favorite seasons, as I
didn’t have the Kosher Salt the recipe called for.
Ready for roasting...
El Fin!
Everything looks so yummy even the brussel sprouts, which I don't like. Those chops look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI rarely eat breakfast, but thanks for the idea about bringing styrofoam bowls and cereal to work to keep in my desk. Don't know why I never thought of that. LOL
I have been on a fresh fruit and vegetable kick though. I will try to keep it up.
Looks like you're doing everything right. I go to the gym in the evenings after work...it's a chore, but I make it work.
Looks great!! I know that it feels good to eat better and know that we're putting better things with better ingredients into our bodies. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeletePleaaaase don't laugh at me but I have NEVER tried Brussels Sprouts but u make them look DELISH!!!!!
