Healthy Eating Habits

January 14, 2015

I am trying so hard to get back into healthy eating habits.  I’d fallen off the wagon for the past year or more.  I feel like I have to be completely in the right frame of mind to eat on the healthier side and I just wasn’t at that place in my life ever since my mom passed away.  I’m turning the big 50 next month and I’ve made a promise to myself to make this year the best one yet.

Tonight’s dinner: baked tilapia, sweet potatoes, corn and salad

 

This past week I decided to join Weight Watchers online program.  I signed up for 3 months.  Many years ago I lost weight using their program and adopted their techniques into my healthy lifestyle.  Ever since that time, when I gain a few pounds I simply use the things that I learned to get me back to my desired weight.  I’d like to share a few things that I do to achieve my personal weight loss goals.  These are just good habits to have regardless of the diet plan you are on.

  1. I write everything that I eat down on paper.  Actually, I’m using the Weight Watchers app on my phone to do this since technology is such a wonderful thing.
  2. I make sure that I have healthy snacks on hand at all times so that I don’t seek out high calorie snacks when I’m hungry.
  3. I walk.  Yes walking is my favorite form of physical activity.  Walking is easy to do and it burns calories.  I have my Fitbit and try to remember to put it on every day.
  4. I get involved in the online message boards because it helps to have others for support.
  5. I drink a lot of water and unsweetened iced green tea.
  6. I increase my intake of fresh fruit and vegetables.
  7. I indulge in dessert a few times a week trying to keep it within limits.  I’m not going to go overboard and ruin a whole week’s worth of healthy eating with a single dessert.
  8. I get inspiration for healthy recipes on Pinterest and other social media sites.
  9. I keep it real.  I don’t beat myself up every minute of every day obsessing over weight loss.  I just choose a healthy lifestyle 90% of the time and know that everything else should fall in place.

What do you do to stay healthy?  Do you have a specific diet plan that you try to follow?

    I have that milestone birthday in March! My goal is to try to build more muscle and tone up. I’ve noticed since around my mid-40s that gravity is taking it’s toll on my body and things that I never thought would jiggle are indeed jiggling! Good luck with your goal!

    I am also trying to get back on the path to eating healthier. I have packed on a few pounds and it’s in all the wrong places. I think we both will do it!

    I’ve been wanting to loose weight for a long time now, but it seems i can never find enough motivation. I’m so stressed about all the things i have to do most of the times i end doing nothing, working out being one of them. Also, i hate healthy food so it’s really hard for me not to fall back in the habit. I’ll try this tips and hope i can finally get into a healthy routine so i can reach my desired weight. Thank you very much.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Dress and topper are on sale!🎉

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅
