My Start to a Healthier Me !!!

Okay y’all. I started taking conscience steps for a healthier me last week. I started eating healthier, exercising, and taking amazing supplements. I am only down a pound, but feel amazing. …. Let me try that again. I AM DOWN A POUND! I may have expected to lose a few more than just one pound, BUT that’s a ok! One pound is one pound closer to my goal! I also wasn’t super strict this weekend … it’s all about 80/20 am I right?! Plus, I want to enjoy life as well!

And besides, there are so many other benefits I’m having from choosing a healthier lifestyle! Choosing to workout, eat healthier foods, and take amazing supplements has given me so much energy and my mood is fantastic! Seriously, I don’t feel sluggish, and I’m able to do two workouts if I need to split my run up from my strength training. (I have to go to my in laws on running days right now because it’s too cold outside!! Once it’s warm enough I won’t have to do two separate sessions!) If you’re curious about these amazing supplements let me know!!

I’ve had several people ask how I lost 50 pounds a couple of years ago (I’ll post more in depth detail about that later) and a few people have asked me about what I’m doing now. So, I decided to share my first week back at it. I didn’t follow it as strictly as I did two years ago (i.e. my sugar and carb in take is a little higher on some days). The key is to lower your amount of processed sugar and carbs…. but I’m also about balance!!!  Below I’ve outlined what I ate and did each day for the week.

May this help you get motivated for a healthier you!!!
