Remember my new years post, I said I would start? Okay, so I did. We were in Walmart one evening, and Nadia went on a rage against the groceries I was buying. She was right. I knew I could do better about what I was eating and the rate in which I was exercising. So, I decided to make some changes. I don’t do well with things all at once, but if you make one change and stick with it, things start to happen.
I’ve only had 1/2 of a soft drink since last Sunday. I’ve worked out 5 times since last Sunday. I’ve had absolutely no fast food since last Sunday. I’ve only had one fried item since last Sunday (some cottage fries from Keifers). I increased my jog time to 10 minutes — 5 at a time. I’m learning how to eat at home. I’m learning how to make better choices in my own kitchen.
I haven’t made any other plans, though I’m sure there’s still room for improvement. I haven’t really noticed any difference, but after a while I will. I think I’ll stick with this for a while and see where it goes. Right now, I’m good.
What about you? Have you started yet?

I am doing immensely better. I am really working hard in my kitchen to cook dinners and lunches. In fact, the only time I am eating out is if TH is taking me out. Otherwise I am all about my kitchen. And I am making the most delicious meals.
Last night I had green beans with dinner. Not frozen. Not from a can. I bought a handful of raw beans, snapped them and boiled them. Yum!
Yay! I haven’t gotten to the snapping beans point yet, but maybe one day… I really need your recipe for the chicken picatta!
