Healthier Lifestyle

Trying something new. I can't say it will totally work out for me but here are some things I have noticed about myself in the last several months.

1. I totally binge eat
I seriously thought that I would never truly say that. When someone says binge eater all I can think is a 500 pound person eating three hamburgers and hot dogs chips and a big glass a milk along with much much more food all in one setting.

I never thought it was me that did this. I mean maybe not in that big amounts of food but I am not far from it. I found I binge eat when I get home from work because generally I deprive myself of nutritious foods with a quick granola bar and a quick lunch. I find myself not so much starving by 5:00 o'clock but more I get bored. Yes I am a bored eater and honestly every time a grab something out of the kitchen full of sugary goodness all I can think is well I am doing something aren't I?


I am very sad to say that I have reached my highest weight yet and I know if I don't change something it won't be the first time I mention my highest weight. I really need to lose some weight. I want to feel healthier and stronger. How I am starting.

1. Working out Tuesday and Thursdays
      -I sit at a desk all day. There is very little work out time involved in what I do so I think if I at least start going to the gym for one hour a day I could do pretty good. I am sure it would help a bit too. I know it is not much but I really think it is at least a start.

2. Meal Prepping- I am awful at just grabbing something quick or trying to make a quick lunch before I head off to work which usually ends up with me over packing sugary unhealthy foods. So today I made a list of meals that I can pre prep at the beginning of the week and not stress about picking something out in the mornings. I am also trying to have more healthy options and get rid of some of the unhealthy things crowding my cabinets and refrigerator.

3. Food Journal
             - I think this is so important for me to do to see if things are really changing or not. I think being able to see what I am putting into my mouth might help me see what and where I need to change things.


4. Weekly Checks-
       Every Sunday I will check to see where I am at with my goal. If I am eating healthier and if there are any issues with my plan. If so then it is time to try something new. I think doing it weekly to begin is important so that I don't get lost in what I am doing. However once I feel more comfortable I will probably move it back to once a month which will help show progress a bit better.


I am excited to get started on this :)
