Getting Healthy

Today was a really hard day in my "getting healthy" adventure, if that's what you want to call it. :)



I started out by waking up and taking a walk with Melissa and her mom. We walked 2 miles at the park. It was nice...I was very surprised that I actually walked that much. It hurt of course, and I have a knarly blister on my heel from my shoe rubbing as always.

I spent the rest of the day with Melissa and Baylee. We went to Subway and had a healthy lunch. Then we watched Letters to Juliet and The Last Song. They were both great movies!!! Everyone told me not to even bother buying The Last Song, but I loved it. :) I love sappy love stories that make me laugh and cry! Especially when they have good endings!

We had spaghetti and fresh veggies with garlic toast for dinner. It was SOOOOO goood! I had about half of what I usually have! I would usually have 2 pieces of toast, almost half a plate of spaghetti and tons of ranch with my fresh veggies, and most of the time I would go back for seconds. However this time was REALLY hard not to eat as much...I'm starving right now. I could totally eat everything in my house right now. It's so sad :( But i'm trying very hard...It will be extremely hard for the next few weeks. Hopefully I can get into a routine of not eating as much and when Brian gets home, I can be well on my way to total fitness/healthiness.

My goal is to be physically healthy! Of course I would like to look good, but I'm trying not to worry about the weight so much as thinking about how much better I will feel after I've shed a few pounds.

I'm struggling with finding healthy recipes to use for me and Brian for lunch and dinner... Our usual dinners consist of pasta, rice, and fatty meats. I love chicken so this will be much easier for me than for Brian. I have a feeling I will have a harder time during the winter cooking great healthy meals that are harty and not so much comfort foods. I think as long as I portion control and exercise I can still eat those meals, but of course not in the way I used to. I'll have to find different, healthier ways to cook.

So if anyone knows of a great website I could get some healthy recipes, pass it over!!!

Goodnight world!

For Now & God Bless,
