I'm going to start...........

Don't we say that to ourselves all the time?  I'm going to start Monday....I promise!  Or I'm going to start........ and we just never commit to a date.  Let's all start right now.  We can all begin to make better choices for ourselves and our family.  We should never think that by starting on a certain day makes it so we can eat badly for just one more day.  We are not going to deprive ourselves by any means, we are just going to make better food choices.  If you have a craving for something and it just won't pass no matter what you do, then give into it, in moderation.  Sometimes we just have to do that, and if we don't, we end up eating more calories trying to fill in that craving than we would have if we just ate what we were craving.  Start slow, don't eat the whole elephant today.  But if you can make small changes you will see a snowball effect.  So tonight, serve 2 veggies and drink water with your meal.  Once you go through a tough workout, you do not want to undue what you did, so you are more likely to eat healthy.  Remember, it's not a diet.  It is a healthy living plan!

  1. Such great advice. I went to Costco today and I got my Olive Oil (First Cold pressed :), Salmon, Apples, Celery, etc. and I felt so powerful. I know I can overcome whatever it is that has been triggering my unhealthy lifestyle. But like you said...small steps. I can't wait to weigh in next weekend. ;)
