So I've made this comment on the blog before - but I'm not really into "diets". I don't believe in them, I'm not good at them, and in my opinion, life is too short to completely cut out the good stuff. With that being said, every once in a while I take look at my habits of consumption, and see that there's a bit of room for improvement. Last week was one of those times and as a result I'm trying to make the three below changes.
one: I'm limiting my carb intake (breads, rice, pasta, cereal, pizza, etc) to one meal a day and swapping out white flour for whole wheat versions during this meal. I refuse to go crazy and count carbs in fruits and veggies, but this is a happy medium. It prevents me from having a muffin for breakfast, a sandwich + chips for lunch, and pizza or pasta for dinner, which is pretty much what was happening every day. My meals have consisted of lots of fruits, vegetables, and proteins - and I don't miss the carbs at all only miss the carbs a little bit!
two: I'm forcing myself to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I say forcing, because I don't get thirsty. I usually drink a latte in the morning and then NOTHING, seriously nothing, until a few sips of water with dinner. Talk about dehydrated!! I've only made it to the full 8 glasses a few times, but I'm definitely drinking a ton more than I was before. Baby steps.
three: I'm limiting my alcohol intake to once a week. I'm a girl who likes wine, and by likes, I mean love - so this has been a bit of a challenge. My body is already thanking me. Again, I refuse to give up alcohol completely, but it's nice to pick and choose when I'll be indulging in a cocktail {or two}!
Do you have any get healthy goals you're working on?
