Trying Healthy Food

Thursday, January 07, 2010

Yesterday I ate healthy foods. It seemed like I spent all day eating because vegetables take longer to eat than junk food. I tried a new recipe and actually liked it. Felt great this morning. I wasn't even tempted by sweet and I felt satisfied. New feelings.

Reading My Copy of The Spark

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

I am really enjoying my copy of The Spark. It is a lot to take in, but valuable information, and perfect for the start of the new year and my get healthy/fit goals.
My Fast Track Goals:
Eat "real" food when I snack (fruit, vegetables, raw nuts and seeds).
Swim for 30 minutes at least three times a week.
Give myself a positive 5 minute peptalk before bed every night.
Record what I did right that day in my journal.

Your Fast Track Goals are fantastic. I really like the "Eat "real" food when you snack. I might borrow that one, snacking is something I'm trying to do less off. Good luck!!!

Eating Healthy and Exercising Feels So Good

Tuesday, January 05, 2010

I enjoyed the holidays (more than I should have). I enjoyed the eating and seeing the family, all of the special events and gatherings. However, there is nothing I enjoy more than feeling good. Healthy eating and exercising make me feel good. Hopefully by next Christmas I will remember this and do better than I did this past holiday. Without Sparkpeople I would have done worse, so there is hope. Happy New Year.

Happy 2010 I am ready to go

Monday, January 04, 2010

Whew, the holidays are over, and I am ready for a healthier 2010. I have The Spark, I have sparkpeople, I bought healthy groceries, and got rid of all the left over holiday junk! So, let the new year begin, I am ready.

Another Day--Another Christmas Party

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Here we go again. We have another party today. Someone was looking out for me this morning. I bit into a rum ball cookie and it was so full of alcohol, I tossed the rest of it. I have nothing against alcohol, but not that early in the day and NOT at work. Yikes. Since this is my last day of work until 2010, I am looking forward to lots of socializing at the party and a little bit of good eating. Thank you SparkPeople for lots of tips and great motivation. Thank God for cucumbers, celery, and tomatoes that are not only the right colors for Christmas, but are also balancing the Christmas goodies I enjoy so much. Jingle bells , all is well, I am staying within my plan!
