pounds lost, energy gained and meal planning

12/11/2015

The “Quest to be My Best” is now into the second month and I am excited with the changes to both my mind and body.  I have noticed some of my clothes are fitting a little better and some days I have a lot of energy. My last challenge to the journey however is the whole daylight savings time change. It really messed with my internal clock. Normally I get up at 5:30 each morning to start my exercise routine but with daylight savings my body clock has me waking up between 4:00 and 4:30 each morning. Of course I know I can just go back to sleep for a while but of course all I do is lay there with my mind running thinking about the coming day. So, I have decided that I might as well get up and get going with the day.  The problem with this decision is by early evening I am falling asleep. Challenge to take on this week:  Figure out how to readjust my schedule so I get enough sleep and still wake-up in time for my daily exercises.

Another item I have started doing on this journey is to make meal plans for the week. I have found if I already have something planned for dinner when I get home it is much easier to resist the urge to choose a less healthy option. This also helps keep me from snacking while dinner is getting ready. Changing the family meal plan and coming up with meals that are healthy and ones we enjoy has been a little challenging, so if anyone has some good, healthy recipes please feel free to post them I would appreciate your suggestions and I know others would benefit from them too.
​
My goal for each month was to lose 8 pounds. I am happy to report that I have LOST 7 POUNDS this month. Along with the weight-loss I am excited about the other personal changes I have accomplished so far. Well here’s to another successful , healthy month.

Join me in this journey to good health, as I blog about my successes and struggles along the way. Each week I will share with you my ups and downs, recipes, healthy lifestyle tips, workout ideas and more. Join me on my “Quest to be the Best.”
