HA!! Maybe I should just do away with the daily themes and just post each of those topics when I can :-) I think seeing those on the left hand column are what make me feel like a failure more than just not getting to the posts! So how about that…how about we scrap trying to have a certain theme each day and I just post what is on my heart when it is on my heart??
I have received some encouragement from yall and I thank you! Thank you Mom and thank you Keri! It feels good to know yall are liking this site and liking the posts! I will keep going with it – I promise! Just have some patience with me when I am running around rugged trying to keep up with 3 little ones!
The only weekly theme we will keep on a certain day is our Weigh In…we will still have Weigh In Monday. I still want to hear from you on how you are doing (if you want to share!). Even if you don’t share it is a very good habit to have to weigh yourself once a week at the same time, same day…so you can keep up with your progress.
So – for this resourceful post (that will no longer have to be just on Tuesdays – ha!) I thought I would share step 2 from my Light and Delish magazine (if you need to refresh your memory on step 1 click here for that post). Side note – I am loving this magazine!! If you haven’t yet you need to see if you can find a copy of it at the store – it is called Light and Delish. It is a magazine created from the website delish.com. The recipes in there are WONDERFUL and very healthy and very diet friendly! I wish they would make this magazine an on-going subscription!!
Step 2 To Losing Weight Without Even Trying
Pile On The Produce
How It Helps You Lose
To speed up weight loss, consider doubling, if not tripling, your intake of fruits and vegetables every day. Less than 2 percent of Americans eat the recommended nine daily servings, which is a major missed opportunity for shedding weight. Produce is made up mostly of water, so it’s low in calories (meaning you can eat a lot without putting on pounds) and high in fiber, which helps curb hunger. Bonus: Numerous studies have shown that fruits and veggies are also great disease fighters.
I know I am personally trying to do this…making the veggies the biggest portion of our meal – how about you?
In fact Seth and I are making a Broccoli Mac and Cheese tonight! We got the recipe from Rachel Ray’s show today…but you know me…I am going to make a few changes to make it even more healthy and hopefully very tasty!! If it is I will make sure to post it to the recipe blog (which I know…I am behind on as well…but I have posted a few recipes this week if you haven’t gotten a chance to check them out!)
Until next time,
Kellie
