Getting Healthy

Well it happened! I'm on a diet. I have got to be healthier. My mood has been grouchy, feeling unmotivated, eating my troubles away. You come to a point where you got to change something! I have to go all or nothing, but I will not deprive myself. 

So I started with looking up healthy, low carb meals and smoothies on Pinterest. I started 2 boards   pinterest.com/dinamichele08 

 I will be adding more to these boards regularly. I don't want this to be too hard and not achievable. It also has to be inexpensive. So I thought let me try what I have on hand in the house that is healthy. I had a box of Carnation instant breakfast and saw a smoothie recipe on the back. So that's where it begins. Smoothies for lunch or my lunch prequel. Something to fill me up so I don't over eat at lunch. Breakfast will consist of a low carb or no carb choice. I had eggs, so lunch is a scrambled egg with a slice of cheese melted plus a cup of coffee. Dinner option was chicken breasts drizzled with olive oil and seasonings. Canned carrots with cinnamon and brown sugar (just a little butter). I measured a 1/2 cup of white rice. I also had a side salad. Now the dreaded nighttime snack. I made brownies the night before I decided to get healthy. But because I'm not depriving myself I will have one! Also wanted to add that I drank water through out  the day. I added a walk on our bike path too. 

This is my unorthodox menu and plan of attack. I am no expert, but I am going to try this way for now.

UPDATE

I have been doing will. It's been 4 days! I feel more energy and lost 3 pounds. I'm not really trying to lose weight but eating less carbs will do that. It's really about making better choices for myself and my family. Not everything can be low carbs. Because let's face it, you cannot please everyone in the house. Cutting out fried foods and fast food helps with the overall wellness of my family. 

This is just my own way of a healthy diet. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING ANY DIET CHANGES. 

Let me know your healthy tips and recipes. I would love to hear them or share them and I will post them on my Pinterest Boards. I will update my progress in future posts.

HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH!
