Okay it is Fitness Friday! Brenda over at the Family Revised has given us our assignment! It is what makes us feel good. Well I really, really had to think about this! Not because I didnt have an answer right off the top of my head. I just felt like it was the wrong answer!
The right answer:
fruits and vegetables
water
exercises
The answer I thought of was:
food
Now I understand that is serious and part of the reason that I am as overweight as I am! I know that but it doesnt change the fact. I mean lets keep it real, does carrots and cabbage next to a whole wheat roll beside a glass of water make you feel good or does a slice of steaming hot pizza and an ice cold rootbeer make you feel good?
So I am all aware of the fact that a reason I am overweight is cuz I really like food. BUT...
what has been making me feel really good lately is not a food choice or drink choice. It is not eggs for breakfast or nuts and cheese for a snack but it is also not the mongolian beef and eggroll I had for dinner!
It is that I made a good choice. It is not THE choice...it is that I made a good choice.
Good choices made me feel GOOD.
So on to my new plan to help me make good choices! I have adjusted my "diet" plan. I have come up with a new one. The only rule involves a choice.
It is called EAT THIS OR EAT THAT....
Have you seen that book, they show you a page with that and than show you this and it is the same calories, fat etc but it is TONS more food. Now remember what is making me feel good lately is making a good choice so I am playing my own version of this or that. And IT is working for me! Yesterday morning I could have had waffles or eggs and waffles. Well I had half a waffle (yummy) and a whole egg!
GOOD CHOICE.
Or for lunch I could have a hamburger and french fries and dietcoke or I could stay home and have a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich on sourdough.
GOOD CHOICE.
Now I know that my choices are actually the best diet choice but it is the better of the two options given to me. It means I am making better choices. That is progress baby!
