I have the worst eating habits. I never eat breakfast. Usually its 2 big meals everyday. The past 2 weeks i have changed everything. I still not into breakfast but im going to make myself eat it. I cut french fries out even though i oven bake them. They are my crack...lol! I have always drink a lot of water i put fresh lemon in it. I eat 2 salads a day now. One for lunch, one for dinner. I eat fruit with my lunch and a snack after dinner. I figure its a start. I really don't like red meat that much. I am a chicken breast type of person. I use a kids plate for portion control. Today will be day 4 at the gym. I feel a little better. I went to
Discovery Health.com and they had lots of healthy recipes for every kind of meal. Right now im 5'4 168 my goal is to be 130-140 by June 15th my B-day!
You've gotta eat breakfast! I wasn't a breakfast eater myself but after getting "religious" about it, I've found that I can't get going with out it.
Breakfast for me:
Bowl of Cheerios w skim milk, my multi vitamin, coffee (black 2 sugars)
or
Oatmeal
or
2 Egg white omelet w ham and feta cheese
morning snack (post workout)
Fiber One bar and a protein shake
Lunch
Salad and some fruit
or
Banana and Peanut butter sammich (Healthy choice PB)
snack
100 cal pack of almonds
or
fruit
or
Fiber One bar
Dinner (@ work)
PB and Banana
or
Cold cut sandwich (high fiber whole grain bread etc.)
I'll throw in some leftovers in a small container but still keep up with the fruits and veggies.
Late snack
Orange
Eating 2 big meals a day makes your body store the fat because of the "feast and famine" cycle it's going through. Remember to eat sensibly, don't jump on the scale everyday, and keep hitting the gym! Set your goals and keep pushing yourself to reach them.
