Week 3
As I begin my third week I am down 12 pounds. That is even after going to Arizona and going off my diet a bit. As I was eating and drinking this past weekend I thought a lot about my relationship with food and how it has effected my overall health over the past decade. I am a bored snacker, an emotional eater and I love sweets! Was I in for it or what? Couple that with getting older and a slowing of my metabolism and extra pounds cam and stayed. As I have been eating more whole foods and making better choices I have been feeling so much cleaner and my brighter. And after changing your habits a bit, the cravings go away. In fact, I craved a pint of water instead of sweet tea and I wanted an apple rather than a cookie. Anyone who knows me knows that is a HUGE feat. I love cookies. So much so it was my first word as a baby. No joke.
So I went to the store after returning home from Arizona. This was what I bought for the week. Maybe this will help you decide on some healthy choices:
- Apples
- oranges
- lettuce
- cauliflower
- broccoli
- bell peppers
- zucchini
- mushrooms
- onions
- yogurt
- sweet potatoes
- hot peppers
- strawberries
- blueberries
- mixed nuts
- tuna
- unsweetened soy milk
- plums
- protein shakes
