RULES

OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE WEEKS THESE ARE THE RULES TO LIVE BY FOR MY "HEALTHY EATING CHANGE".

1. Don't call this a diet, its not a "Diet" or a "Cleanse". It's simply a change of lifestyle that I'm trying to live by for a healthier life.
2. No eating out of boredom. If bored simply go on a walk, or do homework, you want to be productive not end up pudgy.
3. NO RESTAURANT FOOD! It will be allowed for the birthday celebrations, but that is it. No eating from work when closing or getting off shift and going with the co-workers to grab a coffee and bite to eat. Be strong.
4. No fast food, no more midnight trips to Mcdonalds with friends, try to avoid Mcdonalds all together.
5. No white breads. No whole wheat either, we are going for whole grain here, if theres a bread to eat thats the one.
6. Eat breakfast. It really is the most important meal of the day and it shouldn't take you 18 years to realize this.
7. No pop, or sugary drinks. 
8. Hey remember back in elementary school when you packed a lunch? Yeah, do that again. No excuses. 
9. No "crap" dinner (KD) or any other kind of pre made meal. Thats just gross
10. Stay away from too many preservatives, organic is the way to go.

Week One Review

So far so good.
There was a day where I bought a salad from the caf, but I watched the lady make it and it was because I left my sandwich at home. Since I told my family about the preservative and gluten free sandwich meat my mom will not buy anything other then it, she never realized how bad the regular sandwich meat was for you and after doing her research she was disgusted. So thank you Mrs. Caldwell for telling her about that. I find I like the taste of the one we buy now better then the gross one. Also the only weaknesses I've had is for coffee so far, the whole not eating at work has been a good change. However I keep telling myself not to go out and buy something because I have my birthday this coming weekend so save it for then. However I have found that I am not eating enough. This is a problem. I haven't been feeling good this week but this too is no excuse and needs to be changed. This is about a healthy lifestyle not a starving one.

Im finding it harder to be motivated to eat healthy because it feels like I am constantly on the go and when I get home all I do is homework and take naps and go to bed. This is the last week however and Im excited to get it over with.
