Sunday afternoon I threw away a VERY FULL garbage bag of crappy food. Hard decision, but I felt empowered. Like I had finally taken control of my life and got rid of an old nasty boyfriend or something awesome like that.. HA
Needless to say, I had a meeting.. AKA coming to Jesus .. with my trainer Isaiah Price (Energy Explosion) and I learned that there IS good food and it's NOT that hard to supply your fridge and belly with it!
Throughout all of my "trying to lose weight and get healthy" steps, I had decided that I was just too picky of an eater to find enough healthy meals and so I needed to have crappy regular foods more often because I didn't really have much of an option. Well, that is a lie! Even someone like ME who doesn't even like my food to TOUCH eachother, can find good healthy options.
This was what I replaced all of my crappy food choices with...
$88.00 worth of HEALTHY and filling food....
Asparagus, Broccoli, carrots, pickles, celery, dark leaf lettuce, peppers, apples, WHEAT bagels, bread and tortillas, corn tortillas, black beans, eggs, red potatoes, top sirloin steak, edemame, whole wheat pasta, granola and most of all NO sugary crappy processed food or freezer meals!!!!!!
THIS is an accomplishment, and may sounds like weird hippie food to you. BUT I am excited to cook meals like: eggs on toast, toasted turkey sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, yummy tortilla soup, breakfast burriots, chicken and pepper pasta, fajitas, steak and potatoes, red potatoes with veggies.... ETC.
Huge accomplishment for me.. I challenge you to throw away at least ONE thing that you have that is unhealthy and to stop buying it when you go to the store. Even if it's just one thing at a time that you're replacing with something healthy. I am NOT a superhuman or majorly motivated and "one of those people" , I am just as normal as you and I promise if I can do this so can you!!!
I watched Super Size Me today and i am SO ready to do this! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! It does seem so hard to find healthy food that tastes yummy. Jordan and I are trying to eat healthier too. Maybe we should swap some recipes or ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt is so true that good food can be good for you!! That sounds almost like my shopping list...except i have no idea what edemame is!! LOL Good luck Leslee, I know you can do it!!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! That is a huge thing to give up!! You are amazing!!! I stopped using canned vegetable for 6 months ago after I learned they are bad!!!! I love fresh vegetables and frozen vegetables if I have to from Costco! Have you tried dried mango from Costco? So good! Want my recipe for red potates wedges you ate at my house? So healthy & yummy! Have you tried myfitnesspal.com? Sam has been using it and it is so helpful! He lost 13 pounds already. I am so proud of you! Thanks for blogging this! ILY!
