Since the beginning of July I have had a hard time getting motivated to eat healthy.  Exercise is not the problem.  I can do that just fine, but it the eating part that gives me trouble.  I am always hungry it seems.  And I don’t just reach for an apple or a carrot stick…it’s usually something sweet.  I have a love-hate relationship with chocolate and ice cream.  I can just look at those sweet treats and gain 5 pounds. Well, I’m DONE!!!  I have to do better.  I just have to bottom line.  Food is fuel for my body so I can exercise better.  So, I am coming up with a plan for the week.

My exercise this week looks like this:

Monday:  Run 2-3 miles

Tuesday:  Cross train for 30  minutes (Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD)

Wednesday:  Run 2-3 miles with a friend (I’m super excited about running with someone.  This will be the second time doing it.)

Thursday:  Cross train for 30 minutes (30 Day Shred DVD)

Friday:  Run 2-3 miles Saturday:  REST Sunday:  Run 3-4 miles

Meal planning is hard!  I am still working on it, but there isn’t any junk food in the house i.e. cookies, cake and chocolate.

Monday:  Grilled chicken breast with veggies

Tuesday:  Lean ground beef tacos

Wednesday:  Pork chops and roasted potatoes

Thursday:  Italian night at church group

Friday: Family is in town (eating out)

Saturday: Family is in town (eating out)

Sunday: Leftovers

 I really need to make a consensus effort when eating out.  And NO snacking on junk!!   Here’shoping to a good week!

 

How do you stay motivated? What are you favorite healthy meals?
