Day 2

Well my 10 people have turned into just over 30 people jumping on board! LOVE IT!!! Now how many people can YOU get on board? How many people can YOU motivate????  As you can see it's contagious! All of you doing this be good examples, get the word out, share what you are doing, share this blog anything to make a healthy change!

MY mission is only to inspire you to make changes it's up to YOU to reach your goal.  I am documenting my 50 days on here.  I will post what I am thinking, eating and doing.  It's up to YOU to make the commitment to change and hang with it the entire time!!!!  Keep a journal, post on your FB page, post on MY facebook page.... I would love to hear your progress, remember it's contagious!!!!!

To make life easy I like to pick about dinner meals and then just rotate them.  My 5 meals will be: Skinny Chicken wild rice soup, Fish Taco's, Chicken burrito bowl, Beef roast and Chicken and vegetable stir fry.  Not to bad huh? The recipes are listed over on the side, yep right over there on the right... riiiiight, there :)  My lunches are simple, either left overs or a salad with protein.

Breakfast was my normal egg and oatmeal.
Today's lunch is on the run:  salad with mixed greens, Chicken breast and 1/4th cup of brown rice. I will put some balsamic and  a very little olive oil on it for dressing. A little boring and not a lot of food but I am on the go today.  I will for sure need a protein smoothie along the way which I will make at home and pack in a coleman cooler.....it for sure keeps it cold!
Dinner tonight is Wild rice chicken soup, recipe to the right. nope no crackers or bread, but if you choose to do bread during this, stay with sourdough.

So many people want to know what I eat..... weight loss IS mostly in the kitchen. But more importantly you have to have the right mindset.  If you don't have that, in 2+ weeks I promise you.... You will give up.  So lets not set you up for failure.

• Set your goal, set your date... 50 days is December 9th. 
• Set your consequence.   
• NOW what is going to keep you on track when you are tempted?  

For me it's this blog, it's posting notes all over the house, it's dumping the things that I just can't keep myself from like: chocolate and peanut butter and brownies ohhh and chocolate chip cookies.  Oh wait I also really LOVE chips and guacamole.  Okay now I'm getting hungry! Oh good point HUNGER.... we need to talk about that.  You need to ask yourself "are you REALLY hungry?" or are you just craving something?  For me when I am hungry I get this feeling in my chest or upper stomach and then I think about the last time I ate and what I had.  Which right now I am hungry but I ate  about 1 hour ago so my body does not NEED food..... I am just craving!! A good idea right about now would be to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! remove myself from the temptation and it WILL go away.  So that's all for now, going out in this lovely MN weather :)

yep this is my cupboard, sometimes you need the reminders!!
