Candi and Cupcake’s Healthy Life Makeover Adventure

August 12, 2008

New Challenges – and Progress!

This week I am heading out to a conference.  I am taking a few steps to make sure I can maintain my healthy lifestyle while I am there:

1. I emailed everyone I know who is going and told them to BRING WORKOUT CLOTHES!  We have access to a local gym and it’s always more fun to work out with friends!

2. I brought my own breakfast stuff – I brought english muffins, fruit, peanut butter, and we’ll stop and I will get some milk.  I even remembered utensils and cutting board and knife! In retrospect, it might have been easier to get some fruit cups, but this will work!  I WILL NOT EAT the continental breakfast – all those carbs! ARGH!

3. I am resolved to stay away from 2 things at the conference provided lunches – bread and dessert!

Candi suggested that I focus my blogging on challenges and solutions for eating healthy away from home – so that’s what I will be thinking about as I go through my week.

My weight hasn’t dropped as dramatically as I had hoped…but I recounted my progress in healthier living…

1. NO FAST FOOD

2. Very little fried food

3. No sweets

4. VERY LITTLE Diet Coke

5. Whole wheat

6. Fruits! Veggies!

7. Very few sweets (just my treat and I skipped my treat for last week! :) )

8. Exercise – more than ever!

Progress is a good thing – and the results will catch up with the effort at some point!!
