Mic's "One Step at a Time" Journal

:iagree: Let's rock this joint! :D

So I'm reading the "Eat This Not That" book again. I am in complete awe! The healthy choices I thought I was making aren't really that good for me at all! This book is so informative... I've starting my healthy grocery list today too. I'm going to get everything I'll need for the week and then it'll be so much easier for me to avoid the crappy things. I'm going to prepare everything in advance and put it in tupperware so it's easy to grab n' go!

I'm going to get:
Spinach and Romaine
Yogurt
Tomato juice
Blueberries and Grapes
Nuts

Yay, I'm so on top of it.

:grouphug:
 
Thanks :blush5:

I get off work in three hours and I really want to work out but I'm feeling so tired and unmotivated.

Words? Anyone have words??
 
at least give it a shot. go to the gym, shoot for 10 minutes. if after that you still don't want to be there, go home. at least you'll know you gave it a shot. some days the motivation just isn't there. Brandy and I both hit a day like that on Sunday. ;)
 
Thanks... that really helped me out! I just did the 40 minutes on elliptical while watching a show. :)

Now I'm going to do some more wiiiiiiiiii :D

Take care Shandy and thanks!
 
There ya go, exactly how to do it!!

Tell yourself to put in a minimum effort, then once you start... KILL IT!

Nice work!
 
Youre doing great! :hurray:

Youve got a nice grocery list going. Ever tried turkey burger? Its pretty darn delicious and healthy. :D (god Im bad at advertising!)
 
Thanks Karl. :waving:

Quart- I haven't ever had turkey burgers before. I'm assuming you cook and eat them like a regular burger? lmao It sounds good.

When I was picking up things last night at the grocery store I was looking at my list and checking out all the nutritional information on everything I was putting in the cart, and all of a sudden I got this overwhelmingly good feeling and this huge smile came on my face. It's like I just know I am going to do this, and eating better is 85% of the challenge. Plus, I realize there are plenty of things I can eat and not feel deprived. Like sugar free 70 calorie pudding?! Who knew! hahaha.

I also got some pico de gallo and baked tostitos when I feel like I need chips n salsa. :D
 
You're awesome Mic! Yes you absolutely are gonna do this!

I find that half the battle for me is a the grocery store. Gotta keep the decent food around to keep out the bad stuff.

Team Sweetcheeks Rocks!
 
Yep! Turkey burger tastes pretty good if you season it(alittle bland if you dont), and is a great substitue for hamburger if youre craving a burger... Also good to put in salads, mix with brown rice.. yeah thats about all I do with it.

Thinking of hamburgers I havent had one in a long time... it sounds pretty good right now though. :D

And good to see youve got all your new healthy food! After awhile you stop wanting(or wanting it as badly..) the old food you were eating, so stick in there! :D
 
You GO GIRL we have the same goal and we can do this! The motivation and support you need is here!

:willy_nilly: yaaay!
 
Thanks, you people are awesome!

I slept amazing... woke up and had a really yummy breakfast. Egg beaters with ham and onions. Mmmm. :drool: Nine more hours of work and then I'm off to the gym to work off some calories. Everyone in the challenge is losing pounds but me. lol. Ahhhh! I need to sweat more!! Or something...
 
Steve- I feel like everything I read that you write is so inspiring and informational. It's like I can't get enough of your knowledge! I just love the way you write and talk to people.
