Hey folks remember months ago I mentioned that I was a lucky ZonePerfect Blog Forward Challenger?
Yes, that challenge. Well all is going great! I am down 40 lbs. YEP, BIG 4-0. And you know that I love food. But I’ve made some real big changes.
Not only do I enjoy my ZonePerfect bars as snacks, I’ve also made other big changes.
Soda, cut those out completely. I drink water, yes, water. Buckets of water, flavored with lemon, mint, and cranberry juice.
If you want some of my flavored water recipes, check out my other site. Not Quite A Vegan!
Condiments, Greek yogurt and avocados are my new best friend. I marinate everything in Greek yogurt and I love avocados.
A little avocado goes a long way in making food rich and delicious!
I love sweet potatoes, but YES, I still eat all things white, like pasta loaded with veggies, and baked fries.
Here’s my improvements over the last few months:
1. Not eating past 8:00 p.m. at night.
2. Limiting meat to 1-2 times per week.
3. Salads and Light Soups are my new best friend.
4. Get up and move (o.k. I am still working on this part) lol.
5. Healthy snacks like ZonePerfect bars are key for us snackers!
6. Tomorrow is another Perfect day. Having a bad day, start over tomorrow!
7. Food is your friend, so eat! Just eat the correct foods and all is well.
