New direction is lookin' good

Last week, I decided to take small steps to make a big change for both my hubby and my own health.

I'm currently down 5 pounds and my husband is down 3 pounds from last week. I'm so excited to see how this week turns out. 

Yes, I'm starting to meal prep for both of us. This is my lunch & snacks: 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1 c grapes, & whole wheat bologna sandwich. 

I know bologna is not a good meat to eat. It is definitely a cheap meat to purchase and I'm going from 2 bologna sandwiches on white bread to 1 bologna sandwich on whole wheat. It's a change. Everything is small steps and eventually, this will pay off. 

I'm drinking water instead of any energy drinks today. I didn't have any soda either. Water seems to be the one thing that quenches my thirst these days which is awesome. 

Today is definitely a great day and this week will be even a better week than last week.

Enjoy the week!

Small steps lead to big changes

It's been a long time since my last post. I am working on making this blog a weekly post like it was at the beginning of the year. I'm happy to be writing this blog again. It means I'm working on finding a healthy new me and helping my hubby get healthy, as well. 

It is true that small steps lead to big changes that one might never have thought possible. 

Right now, I'm taking small steps that lead to eventual huge changes that will better my life expectancy. I'm starting off this week with no sodas except for one energy drink a day. Eventually, the energy drinks will stop, as well. 

Next step is to start removing the extra carbs in my diet like pasta & bread and find healthy replacements. 

I bought 2 heads of cauliflower which is just sitting in my fridge begging to be turned into garlic mashed cauliflower. YUM!

Yesterday for dinner we had a whole spaghetti squash instead of regular pasta with Italian sausage meatballs. Definitely a great small step forward to a brighter big picture change to the future of both my husband's and my life.

Change is good and pushes you to further discover new things. Enjoy life and make those small steps to better yourself!
