Day 20

Sunday! Today is shopping/prep day and my first post of the month!

The goal for February is to get down to at least 145lbs.. preferably lower, but baby steps! I am still on track of my goals, but have been feeling discouraged at the slow progress.



On the shopping list:

- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Celery
- Peppers
- Lettuce or bag salad
- Sphagetti squash
- Zucchini (NEW veggie to try this week)
- Broccoli/Cauliflower
- Bananas
- Frozen fruit for smoothies
- Chobani yogurt
- Onions, garlic for cooking

(Much of this will depend on what is on sale)

 

Ideas to make eating healthy this week easier:

When you get home from shopping take some time to wash and cut up your veggies and fruit. This makes them easily excessible and will save you time later in the week!

Crock Pot Shredded Chicken

- 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast

- 1 cup of Salsa  

- 2tbs Taco seasoning

 

Cook on low for six hours (or high 2-2 1/2) until chicken is cooked through and tender. Should be able to shred with a fork. Now you have quick, easy and tasty chicken at your finger tips to add to meals, wraps, salads, what ever you like!

Day 15 01/28/13

Day 15

Happy Monday! First of all I seem to have hit a plateau so I am going to do my phase 2 reset a few days sooner than anticipate. I will do a 4 day reset starting today. This means NO carbs... and only a light amount of exercise.

2nd of all I would like to point out that I do not reccomend eating as little calories as I have been getting. I want to keep it around 1200-1500 but, when I am trying to cut back on bad carbs I seem to struggle with that. I will work on that!
