We did some walking this week, cut back on snacks and added some fruit and veggies.
Took Coop to the part this weekend and did a lot of walking. Very nice park in Ruston, even has exercise equipment in the park on the walking trail. Coop "worked out" while we made a lap around.
Felt good to be out on such a nice day. I'm too much of a home-body at times...working on that:)
As for the eating habits, I have cut back on snacks and over-hauled the snacks we do have. Bought everyone yogurt at WalMart yesterday. Let Coop pick out his own...more likely to eat it then:) I bought the WalMart brand Great Value...low fat Strawberry. Made a parfait with fresh strawberries and topped it with Just Bunches cereal (Honey Bunches of Oats spin-off...just the oat clusters, very good for topping yogurt, oatmeal or adding to regular cereal).
What I'm trying to do now is up the amount of fruits and veggies we eat. It's weird, I love FRUIT, but not at home. If we are somewhere and there is a fruit tray or fruit on the buffet, I will eat lots of it, but at home, stuff goes bad. I'm making an effort to prep it when I buy it or buy it already cut up. That's a big part of eating right for me...planning ahead. If it's already portioned out, less likely to grab something else that's easy, but not as good a choice. Spinach is the latest veggie I've added. Coop won't touch it, but that will change soon when I start adding it to a smoothie hear and there...shhhh. I've been using kitchen shears to cut up my spinach...just take a few leaves, roll 'em up, slice away. I put it on tacos, make salad with it, use it in scrambled eggs, in sandwiches/wraps...lots of stuff.
It's been all about portions and making better choices. Those 2 things will get you started in the right direction.
