Healthy eating

Hi all! Happy Wednesday! Is anyone else feeling as restless as I am? I can't tell if it's just the time of year, or if it's because everything in my life is so complacent right now, but in any case, I think it's time for a change.

For a little background, about a year ago I stepped on the scale and clocked in at the highest weight ever. I decided it was time to do something about it. So, my wonderful and faithful friend, Amanda, and I decided we would try to lose about two pounds a month. Twelve months later, I have been able to drop 12 pounds and successfully keep it off. I have now plateaued, but I loved the feeling of losing weight. I felt like I was in control and could actually DO something good for myself!

With this in mind, and with my current restless state, I have decided it's officially time to change up my diet and eat more healthfully! (About time, right?) I was able to lose the 12 pounds last year by cutting down my portions and increasing my workouts. I was never actually brave enough to change what I ate. It's time to take living a healthy lifestyle to a whole new level.

So why not start now?! I am planning to take the next few days of the week to look up some great recipes including healthy but hearty dinners (that my hubby will actually eat), and quick but nutrient packed lunches. I am open to anything!

Who knows where I will be in another twelve months?? :)
