War Eagle! Fly Down The Field ...

WE'RE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Wow! The game last night was intense down to the last 2 seconds! Coach Chizik and Cam Newton were so classy during their speeches. They always give glory to God, and that makes me so proud to be an Auburn Tiger! War Eagle!

 

 

 

Foodie Foto Challenge: Day 3

Oatmeal and a diet coke ... still just drinking 1 DC a day!

Stouffers soup and sandwich combo

I know ... Not a good choice.

Ended my night on a healthy note!

Foodie Foto Challenge: Day 2

Well, this has been an eye-opening experience so far. Guess what? I eat too much. Seeing how much I eat ... in pictures ... one meal ... one snack ... one right after the other. Uhm. I need to get a grip. Wednesday WILL BE different.

Breakfast:

Wheat thins and hummus. And, yes, a diet coke.

 Lunch:

Digiorno flat bread tomato pizza - the low calorie one.

Afternoon Snack:

I know they are a higher calorie fruit, but I love bananas!

 Dinner:

Soft tacos made with Laura's Lean Beef and low fat cheese

Notice there was only ONE diet coke in these pictures! There were also 2 bottles of water that I forgot to take a picture of ... Off to Wednesday! 

In the meantime, check out the challenge we're doing at work. It's called "Resolve to Stick With it." It's a 6-week challenge related to healthy eating. We've 6 great ladies participating. This is the first week, but they've already started to encourage me!

 

Food Foto Challenge: Day 1

It's Day 1 of my Food Foto Challenge. Here goes nothing.

Breakfast:

100-calorie grits with splenda and a diet coke (I know - I'm trying to quit the diet coke.).

Lunch:

Grilled Chicken Salad

Dressing on the side

Skipped my afternoon diet coke and opted for water.

Gum instead of chocolate :(

A little protein before working out

 Dinner:

Spaghetti made with Laura's Lean Beef (keepin' it healthy)

Dessert ... again, no chocolate

Well, it didn't kill me. We'll see how tomorrow goes ...

Food Foto Challenge

So, as part of my New Years Non-Resolution to be a better version of myself, I've given myself a new challenge ...

I know this is brave. My husband says I won't do it. But, I'm committing to the challenge right here in front of the whole wide world. Well, maybe not the whole wide world ... but at least the blog world.

For one solid week, I am going to take a picture of everything I put into my mouth and post it right here on my blog. I'm going to begin this food foto challenge on Monday, January 3 and finish it up on Sunday, January 9.

The reason I've decided to do this is because I've become ridiculously aware of how unhealthy most food is ... even salads, soups and sandwiches. It probably has something to do with where I'm working now. It drives me crazy when I think I'm making a healthy choice, and I find out as soon as I look at the nutritional values, that I'm NOT!

And, most importantly, I don't think I pay attention to the "other" things I eat: gum, candy, diet cokes, wine, margaritas, wine and more margaritas, etc. So, I plan to become more aware of what I'm choosing to eat and drink. I think by seeing it in pictures, in front of all of you, that it will make me think twice before choosing to consume it. Notice I say that I'm choosing it. I'm trying to remind myself that what I eat and drink is my choice, and I can change it ... if I choose to do so.

Anyone else want in? It could be fun!
