Healthy eating for the week

Ok guys, here is a good tip that will really help you out. It takes effort, but that's what this is all about....the fat will not fall off of our butts as much as I wish that could happen. There ARE NO MAGIC PILLS....so, it's doing it the healthy way and the right way for us.

To make sure you stay on track this week. Go through your cabinets.... get rid of all of the crap that you don't need. I am talking twinkies, white bread, candy, marshmellows, jelly all of the stuff you know is going to taunt you and you shouldn't have. All of the stuff we're trying to get away from. How can we say no to it if it's in there screaming at us to eat it?

I have NO junk food in my house. I grew up with out junk food.... and I don't need it now.

NOW.... time to go shopping.

1. Eat first. Eat a good choice of food. Don't shop on an empty stomach ever!

2. Make a menu for the week of what you plan to eat. Making good choices. That means plan out seven breakfasts, lunches dinners and healthy snacks! Don't forget to pick up your whey protien from the pharmacy or the healthy food store. You're exercising and need your protien!

3. Make your menu up with lots of fruits, veggies, lean meats, low fat and no fat dairy, whole grain bread, wheat pasta if YOU MUST have pasta. Don't forget your green tea or regular tea. Get rid of the sugar and buy splenda, and try to only have 1 diet soda ( 12 oz can.) a day or less if you can.

4. when you shop take note of the nutritional facts on the back and see what a serving size is verses how many calories it has. Is it worth the small portion for the grand count of calories and fat?

Sarah Lee's delightful whole grain bread is an excellent choice. Low in calories, low in fat, and high in protien from the grains, and very moist.

Non fat yogurt for your protien shakes and eating a 1/2 a cup for a snack with some berries.... yummy snack!

Boneless, skinless lean chicken breast, New York style steak 4 oz. the best in low fat steak, great choice.

Fish, very healthy, but bake it don't fry it! Low fat also.

try to steer clear of pasta for now... k?

So shop from your menu. Have your menu written up and on your fridge so you know what to eat tomorrow. Prepare only what is on the menu....

Exercise ALL week. Weigh once at the beginning and once at the end, and see what happens.
