Small Changes!

So right now I am focusing on a few small changes so I can lose a very big 10lbs by Oct 7th!

The first thing I am doing is having a healthy breakfast. I have been drinking homemade fruit/protein smoothies every morning along with taking a multi, calcium and vitamin d supplements. I may take this transition this to eating yogurt and whole fruit because blendding the drink is time consuming and rather noisy. I will also be able to reduce or control my caloric intake a little better by doing this.

The second thing I am doing is 30 minutes of exercise per day. On mon, wed and fri I am doing strength training. So far I love the sculpt dvd by the firm. I am going to check out the Biggest Losers sculpt dvd to see if I can use it as an alternate. I also have a dvd called the Eat Clean workout that I will check out. I am really excited about these dvd's. They are really fun to do! On Tue, Thur and Sat I am doing cardio, whether that is my stationary bike, walking outside or indoor low impact exercise.

The third thing I will start today is eating a salad every day for lunch. This is something I really want to lock in to increase my vegetable intake on a consistent basis. I will play around with the salads. Here are a few of my ideas!

#1 Tuna salad salad (Tuna, lettuce, salt and pepper, dressing of choice, tomatos)

#2 Black bean salad (Black beans, lettuce, tomatos, dressing of choice)

#3 Taco salad (Grillers crumbles, lettuce, tomatos, dressing of choice)

#4 Hay Stack (Black beans, crumbles, lettuce, tomatos, dressing of choice)

#5 The Vegeterian (lettuce, tomato, carrot, sun flower seeds)

#6 Shrimp salad (lettuce, grilled shrimp, tomato and cucumber)

#7 Salmon salad (lettuce, strawberry and salmon)

For now this is what I am doing. I will make healthy dinner choices maybe next month!
