nutrition intervention
I am in a good place with exercise. My nutrition is better than it was, lot less fast food. More veggie and fruit in take, but i still would not say I eat very well and I need to get better. NEED to. I realize that one of the most effective ways to stay on good nutrition is being prepared. Food shopping with a list of items, planning out your menu for the week. I just can't find the way to make this a habit and ALWAYS do this. I slip and don't do a food shopping and then I just rely on going out to eat, fast food, or diners, sandwiches, you name it. I could eat out all the time, but this is not the best nutrition OR cost effective.

Being prepared is key. Asside from planning my meals and doing grocery Shopping on sunday, I like to make a good meal or two on Sunday that will carry-over into the week for lunches and such. I also like to keep a lot of fresh fruits and veggies on hand. I have noticed that the more fruits and veggies I have in my diet, the more I crave those instead of high processed foods and snacks.
ReplyDeleteI agree with teacherwoman...being prepared is key. It takes a little planning, but I have to figure out what we're having every week or else it's just a nightmare trying to find things to make, rushing to the store, etc.. If I plan it out, I make one trip to the grocery store and am good for the week. That way I know we're eating healthy meals instead of reverting to take-out.
ReplyDeletekeep nuts, berries and cheese on hand- the BEST convenience foods ever! You will be amazed at the amount of energy you will gain from those foods :) They are so satisfying and taste wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI meal plan. We take the time and meal plan, shop and then prepare it all and get it ready for the week. Right down to measuring out snacks and everything.
