Planning Ahead!
I started eating healthy today, after having sampled everything from the holiday party tables and eating, eating, eating.
I want to lose weight and eat healthy and I've got to start watching what I eat so I spent today planning ahead.
Here's what I did so far:
I substituted sugar-free syrup into my coffee instead of any kind of cream. I'm happy that the flavor and taste is good.
I made a double batch of steel-cut oatmeal this morning, and after I cooled it thoroughly in the refrigerator, I divided it into portions for every morning's breakfast. I individually wrapped each morning's portion into wax paper and put all the wrapped portions into a large zip freezer bag and put it in the freezer. Every morning I'll take out one of the oatmeal portions, remove the wax paper, and will microwave the oatmeal for a minute or two for breakfast. I'll top it with fresh fruit.
Today I also made my own trail mix in a large bowl and then put them into individual zip packets - each zip packet contains a little over an ounce of a combination of dried cherries/cranberries, pistachio nuts, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, cashews. I will have this either for a snack or I can use it as a topping for my oatmeal in the morning.
It's good for me to plan ahead and have healthy foods around.
It's a start. I want to lose weight.
