Today the first day of my journey. I have decided to change my diet. I have chosen to eat differently. I am no longer eating processed foods, including my beloved Diet Pepsi. Diet Pepsi has been me for about 25 years. She has helped me through tough times and good. But she is a bad habit. She is not good for my bones. My journey is one that I have chosen. I want good health. Processed foods have helped me get fat and stay fat. But this is more that just what I look like. I am more concerned about what my insides look like. I have a daughter with a chromosome disorder that needs me. I want and need to live a long life. She doesn't know it, but she is my hero. She works very hard everyday, just to do things, many peope take for granted. She never complains. She loves life, she is an amazing person.
I begin my journey today, weighing in at 221.5 lbs. My breakfast today began with some oatmeal with some stevia and one poached egg. Along with a large glass of water. The egg was really good. I am making a minestrone soup for lunch, homemade with lots of veggies. Did I mention that I hate veggies? Well, I am going to start liking them, or at least get used to them. My new mantra is Eat for Tommorow. I need to nourish my body, with nutrients. I am no longer a slave to my cravings. I bought new fresh veggies, like fennel, tomatoes, zucchini, celery, onion,and peas. I grew up hating peas, but I am determined to eat them. For dinner, I am having a salad with Grilled Chicken, with veggies and a little bit of Fatfree Feta Cheese.
I feel excited. I know this will be a journey with ups and downs. I am determined. Gonna make some soup now. Yeah, alot of work- first I have to clean and chop veggies. But, I am worth the effort!
