Food for Thought

So at the beginning of this year Lance and I decided to start eating better and trying to live a healthier lifestyle.  We didn’t really eat “bad” before, but we just needed more variety of fruits, veggies, etc.  So far we have both been doing pretty good.  We will have our weekend splurges where we go out and don’t get the best foods, but hey- everyone needs a fatty day! J  One thing that has really helped me the past week or so is one of my friends, Sarah, and I have been sharing our food journals for the day.  You would be surprised how much this helps you stick to your eating and workout plan.  Last night we were supposed to work out, but since Lance got home late we decided not to, and I felt guilty telling Sarah we didn’t! haha  It is a great motivator to know you have to tell on yourself to someone! J

We typically email each other throughout the day at work and will start off listing out breakfast, lunch, and snacks for our work day, and what out workout plan for that night is.  Then once we decide on dinner that evening, we will text and let the other know.  For example today I will send Sarah something like this-

Breakfast- Orange Juice on the way to work, non-fat greek yogurt with peaches, grapes, and a banana.  Coffee

Lunch- Thai noodles Lean Cuisine, water

Afternoon snack- Cherry tomatoes

Not only am I showing someone else what I am eating, but just seeing it written down is a motivator for yourself! I hope we can keep this up and be food stalkers for each other. Haha We also have been sharing workout tips, different styles we like, etc.  Sarah is a great healthy 2013 bff! J J

I also have started “pinning” again on Pinterest, but of course all of those recipes aren’t very healthy! Ha  I hope to start making some of these yummy recipes,  but tweeking them some to make them a little more health happy.

Happy Tuesday everyone, and Happy Healthy 2013!!!
