Today, I logged my food all day.. except for what I had for dinner because I couldn’t find the nutritional facts on Stromboli. I also decided that as soon as I can I’m going to get a food scale & measuring spoons. It’s hard to know exactly how much I’m eating of certain things without these useful tools. Up till now I’ve been guessing and using what I’ve had, but I want to get very serious about weighing out my food and measuring things. So I’m pretty sure I’ve stayed under 2k calories today but again, not certain. Being back on track is a good feeling even though it’s just the first day, and I didn’t get to work out.. I saw a few challenges where people want to work out everyday in October for like 20 minutes or so I’m thinking I might start that as well. I haven’t worked out in a little while but I know I want to get back on track with loosing weight!! I want this bad enough & even when there are other things going on in my life, working out, losing weight, getting healthy and being healthy, make me feel better overall. Dealing with other life struggles may be a little easier or feel a little better if I’m being healthy. I ate 4 servings of fruits/veggies today! I can’t even honestly say how long it’s been since I’ve eaten that many servings in one day without trying. I just ate foods I liked that were low in calories and then realize that I was eating more fruits/veggies! I swear it’s a domino effect when it comes to being healthy. You make the decision to eat less than so many calories and you find yourself uping your healthy foods that are better for you and give you good energy.
WATER GOAL
I am making a water goal as of right now. Starting tomorrow I will drink 8, 8oz cups of water a day to average out to 64 ounces a day. This is a goal for October, everyday for the month of October I plan on drinking 64 ounces of water a day. I will set up a little side bar option as well as updating all of my weights. When I was drinking plenty of water throughout the day, I felt better. I naturally hade more energy, I felt better about life in general my mood was lifted and I didn’t feel the need to snack as often because I would be full from water in between meals. I firmly believe that water is good for your entire mental, physical and emotional body.

GREEN GIANT - JUST FOR ONE
These things are absolutely DELISH!!! They are a weight watchers product, 0 points, but I do calories & they are 40 calories per serving. They are filling as a snack and as I said, absolutely scrumptious! I have the broccoli & cheese ones, as well as the cauliflower and cheese. I haven't tried the cauliflower ones, but I'm betting they are just as yummy! New favorite snack for certain. They take about 3 minutes to heat up in the microwave, are healthy, filling and you can use them as a snack between meals or an add on to a sandwich or something as well. I had a coupon for them which is why I got them to begin with but after trying them I must say they are an item I will be getting over & over again! ( :~erica♥
