Hey everybody!
One test down, three to go! Hip hip, hoorah!
You know the saying “Old habits die hard”? It is so annoyingly true. In my journey, I find myself developing really good and healthy habits but still finding it tough to get rid of the bad habits. Sometimes I find myself being able to eat a dessert and I think “Eh, I don’t need that right now and I don’t really want it.” Yet I still sometimes make myself eat it because that is my old habit, eating something sweet, regardless if I am hungry for it or not. It is a tough and frustrating process that I am trying to conquer, but it is going to take awhile because bad eating habits have been with me for awhile.
A good habit that I have developed is a new love for vegetables. In high school, when I packed a lunch, it would be a sandwich, a fruit and some crunchy carb or string cheese. I was severely lacking in the vegetable department. This year, and especially with this diet, vegetables are a big part of my life. I feel like a meal is incomplete if I do not have veggies. I now make sure to always have a vegetable with lunch and dinner.
My go to vegetables are:
-carrots
-broccoli
-green beans
-sweet potatoes
-tomatoes
-spinach
-bell pepper
-cucumber
-corn
I seriously LOVE bell pepper. I eat whole bell peppers with my meal. YUM YUM! I can honestly attest to the fact that if you find a few easy veggies that you love and eat them at every meal, it will become so natural to eat them, you won’t think twice. I love these vegetables now. Another healthy habit I have is drinking lots and lots of water. Water is such a key factor in being healthy and losing weight.
Okay quick and healthy post tonight! Back to studying!
