New Day, New Year!
Hello All,
I hope everyone had a safe New Years. I am trying to do better this year with my health and eating. I need to really get a better handle on both and stop living in denial of the diabetes. The fact infection was a huge wake up call, and so today marked the day I am going down what I hope is a better path. I have managed to make my breakfast for the rest of the week for work and my lunch as well. Tomorrow's is all packed up and ready to go, so I do not need to fuss with anything. The only thing I need to do tomorrow morning is blend up the smoothie I will drink on the ride to work, and the rest is ready in my lunch pail of doom.
The morning meal is made up of greek yogurt with fresh blackberries and blueberries. Lunch meal is chicken salad (made with chopped up rotisserie chicken, mayo with olive oil and black pepper, chopped up green pepper and chopped up fresh chives, with a sprinkle of roasted garlic), cup of peaches, for a snack I have a cup of tapioca pudding (fat free) and fresh diced pineapple. I will also bring with me some flavored waters. Dinner tomorrow is going to be talipa filets, quinoa and steamed veggies.
Wish me luck, so far I'm starting out more organized than before. I actually have made the items ahead of time and packed up the lunch before bed. This is a huge step for me, as I always say I'm going to do this and never do. So I finally just did it. I'm tired of all the excuses and feeling bad about things. Honestly, nothing is stopping me but me, so I need to just stop whining and complaining about just do it. I did that with school, and I can do it with this. So here's hoping for a healthier me in 2013!
