Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful, sunny day in Richmond, VA which is very fitting for my sister Gena's 22nd Birthday. I almost can't believe my little sister is 22-years-old. Wow...all of a sudden she doesn't seem that much younger than me ;)
This morning I had my typical breakfast of a toasted sandwich thin with 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey and 1/2 a banana. I already know that I failed on my goal to eat 4 servings of fruits and vegetables this week, but, hey, it's never too late to start. For lunch, I plan on having a sandwich thin with grilled chicken and cheese, chips, and a peach. And I have no clue what I'm doing for dinner ;)
Yesterday, I did well on eating healthy until dinner. JM cooked me dinner and he made beef fried rice. I also drank a few (tiny) light beers. Accidentally, I bought these 6 ounce bottles of light beer, and JM kept teasing me about them. Dinner was really yummy and I refrained from taking my measuring cups out (don't want to scare off the guy just yet) so I'm not sure how much of a serving I had. I estimated 1 and 1/2 cups, which actually did not push me over on points! Also, the two little bottles of light beer, combined, were only 2 points. So, I did pretty well, considering. We had a good time, although I'm feeling slightly sleep deprived this morning (he left at about midnight).
It's hard to stay on track when you're dating!
Tonight is my Zumba class, which I am actually looking forward to. My Body Jam instructor is subbing for my Zumba instructor (she's on vacation) so it should be a good workout.
Happy hump day!

And the Verdict is...
Down 1 lb :)
And I'll take it. So after stressing about switching the meeting time from Thursday morning to Thursday evening, it turns out that I still lost 1 lb this week, yay! I have to admit after my pitiful loss last week of .4 lbs, I lost some faith in my ability to lose weight. However, I feel much better now that I lost a pound and I am slowly but steadily on the way towards reaching my goal.
Yesterday at the meeting, we discussed the importance of fruits and vegetables, which coincides with my goal this week of getting at least 4 servings of them per day. For me, the hardest part about getting my servings of fruits and vegetables (during the day at least) is that doing so involves PLANNING on a regular basis. I would have to go to the grocery store to buy the fruits and vegetables, and then decide which to eat with each meal/ how to prepare them, etc...However, that's just what I'm going to have to do from now on. Because that's what HEALTHY PEOPLE DO.
You know, I was reading an article about a woman who successfully lost nearly 100 pounds. She said that as soon as she joined WW, she started acting like a "skinny person" would act and making decisions that a "skinny person" would make. And before she knew it, she had transformed into one of them. That's how change happens. You start consciously deciding to be something different, and all of a sudden all those little actions--skipping ice cream, going for walks, eating fruits and vegetables--add up and you become a new person.
So, I feel confident that if I consciously make "healthy" decisions on a regular basis, pretty soon I will transform into a healthy person. After all, this blog is called Katie's Way to Healthy for a reason ;) So...on that note, I am going to try desperately to find a fruit/ vegetable to eat with my staple breakfast of peanut butter and honey on a bagel thin.
Happy Friday everyone!
