Ok so about this time every year I get on a health kick! Yes I am laughing with you! I wish I could adopt this lifestyle in it's entirety but I have not found the temperance that comes along with that! This year I have a great excuse I just had a baby three months ago. He is a breastfed baby so what I eat he eats all the more reason to be conscience of what I am taking in; right!?
Ok so I was able to chat with a few nurses today and these ladies were such a blessing to me! The one gave me all sorts of tips to adopt this healthy lifestyle. One that I can completely tackle to if I take the time to prep for the following week! "I can do this!" So I dive right in making my egg white omelets stuffed with veggies. I boiled them in the bag so I can grab one out of the freezer and put it in the microwave and be able to eat something with nutrition instead of a bowl of cereal or better yet nothing! That's what I have been doing the last few weeks and I cannot do that and try to feed Zane. I feel like I am going to pass out! The other thing I am going to try to do is make my own granola bars...these will be healthier, easy, and more cost effective than buying a few in a box. I have to wait on making these because I am missing a few key ingredients that I would like in them. I will post the recipe after if they are successful.
Also while I was meal planning these next two week I incorporated three salads for the main dish! This is alot for my family we are not completely a meat and potato family by any means but we like to have a hefty dinner! I am going to try to change that this summer and make our heavier meals in the afternoon. Anyways I just thought I would share with ya'll. I have about 15-20lbs I would like to lose to feel better about myself and have the energy I need to keep up with these kiddos this summer! If you have any tips on how to kick it into high gear on this healthy lifestyle thingy I would appreciate it! Anything that makes it more simplistic but not boring would be great!
God Bless~

ReplyDeleteHi from a fellow preacher's wife!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with your health kick. I'm trying to do the same thing here, in baby steps (or I get overwhelmed!) More fruits and veggies and less processed junk- that's where I'm starting! Plus, I'm making our bread at home (whole wheat)- to my surprise the kids eat it and it is very good!
anyways, nice to "meet" you!
