Trim & Healthy-Week 2

I don't have a lot of time to elaborate on this week's focus, but wanted to check in anyways...so this will be quick. 

This little sweetie pie is keeping me busy this week :)

First, though, I wanted to say, this week, just having to focus on one thing, one aspect of getting healthy has been amazing for me. It was SO easy! And already making sure I'm drinking healthy, life giving drinks instead of junk is becoming second nature for me. I know what to do when a craving hits. I know what I can get when I'm out and about, and want to stay on plan. I could have worked harder at staying on plan in other areas, but just didn't worry about it, and did what I could, and just kept focusing on doing the one thing, of drinking good healthy drinks, as my main focus. And now I can say with full confidence, that I'm ready to add another small area of eating healthy to my life. 

My plan for this week-

So, this week, my focus will be on breakfast. To make things a little easier for me, I'm setting a time limit for breakfast meals, and when I can go back to just eating whatever. My plan is to eat an on plan breakfast, either S, E, or FP, by around 9 am, our usual breakfast time, and then to not eat again until lunch time. This should give me about 2.5-3.5 hours between my morning meal and lunch. That way if I have a craving, all I have to do is tell myself that I can have it but not until after noon. Setting rules for myself is the easiest way to help me to guard against eating or drinking the wrong things or eating too often. 

This book is amazing! It's helping me so much with changing my mindset about food, and helping me to put my total focus on God! 

I'm pretty basic when it comes to breakfast. Here's a few of my favorite things (no time for links today):

-Eggs-fixed any way. I especially like frittatas and boiled or poached eggs. 
-Oatmeal-I like plain oatmeal with some stevia and cinnamon, but I also like the cold refrigerator oatmeal made with yogurt. I sometimes add berries or peaches as well. 
-Shakes or smoothies-any and all kinds
-Yogurt with slim belly jelly and sometimes some granola. 
-Muffin/cake/brownie in a mug

And I especially enjoy eating leftover (on-plan) desserts for breakfast if I have any leftover. :)

And of course, breakfast is always served with a big ole cup of coffee...iced or hot depending on the weather! 

I'm so thankful to be, ever so slowly, getting back to taking care of this God given body, and getting healthier! How are you doing with staying on plan? Any goals that you are working towards this week? 

Blessings,
