Look at the difference...

I haven't been around in a few weeks, but I've still been faithfully following the plan (or at least as closely as I can!).  I was pondering the other day, while grocery shopping at the differences in my life.  I thought I would share a few...


Pre-January 7th:


average weekly groceries:


2% milk, cheese, hamburger, sugar cereals, bread, potatoes, tater-tots, mac & cheese, ramen noodles, a few canned vegetables, canned soups, juice, soda, cookies, jell-o, cake mix or two, etc.


New weekly groceries:


Fat-free milk, fat-free plain yogurt, FF cottage cheese, FF sour cream, skim mozarella cheese, light string cheese, boneless skinless chicken, turkey bacon, eggs, an occasional steak, salmon, whole grain rice, lots of fruit and veggies, etc.


Pre-January 7th:


common snacks while driving (which is often because of where we live):


diet, caffeinated soda, candy bar, chips to munch on, etc.


snack we use now:


water, occasionally nuts, v-8 juice, string cheese


Pre-January 7th:


exercise: none


Now:


yoga at least once a week, usually more like 3 x a week, and lots more walking.


Pre-January 7th:


size of jeans: I couldn't fit into any that I owned, and 18's were the largest I owned. 


Now:


Just bought and fit into a size 16!!


Not even focusing on the pounds, as you can see, my life is very different than it was a few months ago!  I feel better, look better and have a lot more energy to keep up with my kids!  I love this new way of life and can't ever imagine going back!

I'm lucky if I can even find spaghetti squash.
