Good morning My Friends!!!
Isn't it funny how in our society today we like to inform everybody of everything. But r we really listening to each other? I started this blog about a year ago just to chronicle my journey to the stage but have come to find out it is so much more than that. I want this blog to be about my up's and down's and good times and bad!! I want people to see how real I am as a person and because of that realness u as the the reader can look at this and say I too can achieve my dreams/goals just like her!!! I want this blog to show all the in's and out's of a healthful, happy, and focused lifestyle. It is so achievable all u have to do is DO!!!
I think it is so interesting how we can put so much energy into making excuses about how we cannot stay on track or how tired we are or how we are in a hurry that we made bad decisions. All of these problems can be solved if we only have a plan!! That is the beginning of end...a plan!!! So, How do we come up with a plan when all we have are excuses and regret u say? Well, The first thing is we have to make up our mind that we are so fed up with being fed up! I have been their myself and know the lows of being their time and time again. It is not a fun place to be, it is actually tiring being in that place over and over again. But, dont fret!!!.... cause the answer is right in front of you. All it is a little bit of time and consistency at the right time to make your plan work!!
SO, Lets begin!!
Let's take one day out of the weekend preferably Saturday or Sunday. On this day your objective is plan, prep, and execute!! Plan~ Select a menus that u would want to eat for the week. Look in Magazines for meal ideas--Clean eating Magazine is a GREAT resource!! I use it myself. Once u have your ideas go to store and buy essentials that you will need to make well rounded meals. It is actually fun putting food together that u will eat...did u hear that one--food that u will like and eat!!! Don't make it a drudgery to eat healthful. Try mixing it up a bit with what you eat. Try things that you would never put together. You will be surprised at how good certain foods are when put together and how much energy it gives you!! I like to say my body sings when I eat healthful!! LOL Prep~Prep time is crucial!! This is the time when we get all our ingredients and put our mindset on what we are going to do for the next few hours!! Like I said make it fun!! For me right now I put on Harry Connick JR Christmas!! So much fun to listen to and makes cooking a blast!! Whatever music you like it makes everything fun!! Now, once prep is over it is time to execute your plan!!! Make your food in bulk like the proteins so you can build off of that for the week. If you have your Protein set everything else is easy!! Example of meal: I Like egg whites in the morning so I make egg whites with veggies if have if not then just egg whites with whole grain toast and some black grapes!! Simple easy and yummy to me that is!! Make a breakfast that fits your lifestyle. If egg whites just dont do it for you then try adding a yolk. Or if eggs don't do it for you period then opt for something else in its place like protein pancakes with egg whites in it so you don't have to taste the egg or french toast--these things can be made ahead of time!! All I am saying is it is so doable and this lifestyle is so at your finger tips!! All u have to do is DO!! I love to see others achieve what I have achieved when it comes to food!! I love to cook but I also love the way my body feels when I cook and plan my meals the right way for my body to SING!!! Tomorrow I am going to have some meal Ideas for you to see what I am talking about when it comes to PREP and EXECUTION. I know it can be scary at first but once u get past that part it is as my girls would say...easy breezy lemon squeezy!! So silly!! I love it!! Well until tomorrow!! Be Blessed my friends!!!
