Minus 9 and Counting
Okay, I know this is the second photo I've added recently of my lunch, but this one is much better than the previous picture. It focuses on the food, the Mandarin orange slices are the correct color, and it isn't cluttered with segments of the container. Whoosh! I'm going to figure this photography thing out yet!
This photo is actually as much for me as it is for visitors to my photostream. I'm making some healthy changes with the help of my Accountability Partner, and this is one of them. I try to eat one meal that looks pretty much like this every day of the week. Since I started ... I've lost nine pounds!!! And I feel better.
I actually enjoy eating healthy foods, but if I'm not careful, I'll get too busy and just eat something quick rather than something that's good for me.
This salad is from The Marketplace. They have a great salad bar! I focus on fruits and vegetables, and I eat the fat-free tomato basil vinaigrette dressing. It's wonderful! I'd much rather pay for colorful, delicious, nutritious meals like this than for pills. I don't mind taking medicine when it's needed, but keeping my weight and cholesterol in check by eating like this is much more enjoyable than doing it with medical prescriptions.
Having an Accountability Partner is proving to be a key factor to my success. I report to her each week by e-mail. One of my goals is to lose one pound each week. Meals like this are helping me to accomplish that goal. I can hardly wait to see that 9 increase to 19, but I'm not rushing it.
If you're trying to reach a goal and you need a little help, ask someone you trust to help you be accountable. It's a great way to move toward success.
