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.

There’s nothing like getting back into the swing of things right away and today’s casual swing dress and jewelry are perfect for the meetings and appointments I have.

But first… a walk with my weighted vest because I actually missed it while I was away. 

Let me know if you’d like the LINKS. The dress is on sale in limited sizes and I have a discount code for the beautiful jewelry.

Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you. Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you.💗

Let me know if you want the outfit LINKS sent straight to your messages.🤩

It’s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and you’ll be ready for anything.💫

Where would you wear this jumpsuit?💖

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5’1” it is longer on me. It’s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.🤔

The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pr The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pretty striped shirtdress fits the bill.☀️

It’s from a brand called The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. She uses a patented No Gape® button technology in all of her designs so there’s no gaping at the chest. So now we can all feel confident instead of self conscious.💖

She also has some other dresses and beautiful tops, all with the same button technology.💫
