Eating Well

As I journal every day and track what goes into my body I have noticed several things:

Teas are awesome.  I am very into the mint and passion fruit teas.  I have been reading some great things about the benefits of tea and have been working 1-2 cups into my diet.  Also, its great when you are hungry at night, a good cup of night time tea is the perfect thing.

I have also noticed that when I eat clean foods that I prepare I feel better.  I enjoy preparing lunch the night before work and having a big salad for lunch. 

Oatmeal for breakfast stays with me for a long time and I don't get hungry half an hour after I eat.

Planning out the dinner menu on Sunday's have worked out so well.  I get everything I need and then I have a plan, keeps me from last minuet grabbing something unhealthy from the store. 

All of this has also lead to better decisions in restaurants and while eating out. 

My new mantra when it comes to eating "If you want to look and perform like an athlete then you need to eat like one" 

Favorite Breakfast:
Oatmeal with Greek yogurt, honey, and blueberries.

Favorite Lunch:
Salad with Tuna

Favorite Dinner:
Salmon with veggies

This week I am trying chicken and rice stuffed peppers!  Trying to get one new item in each week till I have tons of different options every day. Pinterest.com is a great source of information!


One last thought, I am working on not obsessing over the calorie count in things, I choose foods that are healthy and the good calorie count just comes.  No prepackaged 100 calorie count snacks for me anymore. 

Just because its healthy does not mean its have to be icky!
