Someone took a picture of me moving. Palm trees are harder to move than you think.

Thank you to everybody who participated in the survey I sent out on Wednesday. Very informative and I feel like I can better help you reach your goals.

 

Especially whoever asked me to wear my gold pants more often. You can count on that one.

 

Not so sure about the person who requested that I sew their mouth shut, so they would stop eating so much junk. That's just crazy, I don't know how to sew.

 

Anonymous surveys are great.

 

So I've moved twice in the past couple of months. I don't recommend that. I have an apartment, a new house, and a bunch of stuff in storage. I have no idea where half of my stuff is.

 

One thing I do know is that my nutrition has really fallen off. Eating sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is no way to live. For awhile all we had at our house was a blow up mattress and a K Cup coffee machine. Priorities.

 

I've used the excuse of not having a fridge to keep healthy food in. That we are too busy trying to get everything in the new house set up. There is no room in the mini-fridge! That (insert another lame excuse here).

 

When you get thrown off of your routine it is easy to slip into convenience eating over healthy eating. Have you ever got into that routine? Lots of grab and go foods, not feeling satisfied, and then eating more of those same foods to feel full?

 

I'm with you. First thing I decided to do is stop my excuses. It's where change has to start. Then I got a game plan.

 

Got 2 pounds of chicken breasts ($2.99/pound at Fresh Market on Tuesdays), marinated it overnight, and then started grilling when I got home from teaching my 530am boot camp in Huntsville. The key is getting back to eating whole, nutrient dense foods and staying away from the processed junk.

 

Things like: fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, nuts, etc... that my body can use, get rid of, and not store as fat. It improves exercise, sleep, energy levels, concentration, and a hundred other things when you are properly fueling your body.

 

What step do YOU need to take? Do you make excuses for the groceries you bought that end up in your house? I did, it's ok to admit.

 

Do you have a plan to start eating healthier or just a "I would like to one day" dream? Make your plan today.
