Eating Better

I've been eating healthier for the past 2 weeks. I have been tracking everything I eat, which helps me to be more accountable for what I put in my body. Tonight, I finally broke out the eat-clean cookbook my sister gave me. I made the pasta with chicken and broccoli. It went over really well with my entire family, they all loved it!! It was nice to see my 5 year old actually eat his entire dinner without complaining.

I'm trying to eat better and to have my family eat better. I've been buying more organic fruits and veggies, organic chicken, and when I buy snacks, I am putting them in snack bags so the kids can grab 1 serving and not eat out of the box and end up eating half the box. I have also stopped drinking soda and have only been drinking water flavored with propel zero or a cucumber slice. I drink plain water when I can, but it gets old fast!

I'm feeling better and I'm starting to see more results from all the exercise I do. I guess I just figured I could eat whatever I wanted because I got in anywhere from 1000 to 2000 exercise minutes per month. That isn't the case at all. I still crave the junk food, but as long as I don't see it I'm good. I have more willpower than I thought!!
