I know I haven't written in a while...We have had a hard time sticking to the menu plans and grocery shopping for the clean eating diet. My husband loves to cook and loves being creative in his cooking. He has done well in changing ingredients and making our food healthier, but we have eaten out and been slack on proportions which makes a big difference!
The other night Husband looked over at me and said "I dunno about this diet....I've gained like 5 pounds..." lol
So Yesterday I decided to take control over what I can while I am away from home. Hubby likes to give me as much as he eats and doesn't realize I could eat 1/4 of that and feel replenished. So I am restricting my calories during the work day and then when I get home I plan to only eat a portion of what's on my plate. Hopefully this will work out haha
For me portion control is a big deal and exercise. I know what foods are my achilles heal...like pizza and ice cream. So if those things aren't around I do pretty well for the most part. (also cookies...I love cookies) haha
So I am focusing on fruits, veggies, and whole grains. I plan on taking advantage of meal replacement shakes for a little while and adding v8 fusion to my diet (1 serving of fruits and veggies per glass).
I want to slowly add in exercise this week too. I plan on taking the dogs for a walk this afternoon for 30 minutes. (Fast paced of course, no strolling for me) My goal is to add this in once a day for 2 weeks. So really it's about maintaining exercise (walking) for 2 weeks straight.
Wish me luck!!
