Eating Healthy One Day at a Time

 

I always thought I did a pretty good job of trying to stay on track when it comes to my eating habits. I had previously been following Dr. Ian Smith's shred diet. Lately I have been trying to follow the principles but not necessarily the book's suggested meals.

 

I was talking to a friend Demarish Ruffin-Smith and telling her about the canned soups and spaghetti in a bag I was eating. Well she really lit in to me. LOL She was appalled that I would eat these soups with their high sodium content. I never really thought about it but when I looked at the can sure enough, the levels were off the charts.

 

The next day I went out to her store of choice, Whole Foods and bought some organic and healthy food options. I also cooked that day baked chicken, brown rice and mixed vegetables. It has been a week since the conversation and I have also made a chicken and rice soup. I am going to have to explore more options but it can be done. I am back to incorporating salads, more veggies and fruits as well. I have only eaten out once and that was to Subway for a $5 tuna sandwich since I had to take advantage of this months footlong special..

 

I have a number of friends who are working on their health and fitness so its nice to have others in your corner and encouraging you on. It certainly is a lifestyle change but you just have to take it one day at a time.
