Maintaining this blog has been so encouraging for me - It's wonderful to look back and see goals I set for my diet and lifestyle and then compare them to how I'm doing today.
Here's what I wrote two years ago today, and these six things that I was "planning" to do in order to achieve my weight loss and fitness goals are exactly what I'm doing in my current regime. Here's what I said "I plan to" do:
1. Eat six times per day and in smaller portions to avoid crashes that lead to cravings
2. Prepare meals ahead of time to make sure I have healthy food ready when I get hungry
3. Incorporate "power foods" like almonds, yogurt, berries, oatmeal and whole grains that will help me maximize my calorie intake for energy and stamina
4. Eat more fiber-rich foods to make me full faster
5. Eat foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients, especially antioxidants
6. Reduce my salt and sugar intake, and eat more fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth while avoiding empty calories
Well, this has turned out to be a pretty good plan!!!! I didn't make all of these changes at once, but for the past year this has been the nutrition lifestyle I've been able to achieve.
I would recommend these six lifestyle habits to anyone attempting to make positive health changes in the new year. Good luck!!!
