For the first week, I am feeling some challenges, but I am also making an effort to change my habits and get healthy!
My challenges:
- finding time to fit in exercise while working full time and going to after work meetings.
- making fast meals to eat after a long day at work, when all I really want to do is order out.
- drinking water, ugh …
Things I worked on this week:
- I wrote down everything I ate, so that I could be accountable
- I measured my food, so that I was not eating more than 1 portion size.
- I was able to exercise 2 times this week for about 2 hours each time. It felt great to get in some exercise, and it was fun! I played my Just Dance 2 game for the wii. It does not even feel like you are working out, and the time flies by!

Crystal,
I know what you mean about a quick meal…I work also. My husband cooks a lot but some of the time it’s something I really shouldn’t eat. So, for lunch I always eat Lean Cuisine…they vary from 250 calories to 450 or so. I also have them on the nights we don’t cook or if my family is having something I really shouldn’t have…and I may have a roll or serving or green beans with mine at dinner. I really thought I wouldn’t like them…after all they are a TV DINNER…haha! But I have found several of them that I really like. They are under $3.00 and tasty. Give them a try for a fast healthy meal!
