OK, so I have slacked off quit a bit the last several months as far as eating healthy and working out and the end result has led to not sleeping well and simply not feeling good. One of my goals for 2013 is to eat more healthy including eating out less, taking cokes completely out of my diet and working out! Sounds simple right?!
Eating healthy is not hard since my husband is such a clean eater, it's working out that gets me and the snacking between meals. You know, the processed yummy goodness of chips?! I know, it is as simple as "do not buy it"!! Now I'm buying more raw fruits and vegetables and nuts for my snacking moments. One of my favorite snacks is apple with a little peanut butter. :) As far as working out goes, I start out doing really good the first 2 or 3 months! I then start to
dwindle down and before you know it, I am not a regular at the gym
anymore!!
Within the last few months I have started following some inspirational women on Instagram whom have changed their life completely by eating right and working out! They post great workout circuits and pictures of their meals which has helped me get more ideas for lunch and dinner. They also share their personal journey by posting before and after pictures of themselves. That takes a lot of courage! They are all beautiful women and I love some of the inspirational quotes many of them share in addition to the other pictures.
Some of you may know Amanda from For Love of a Cupcake. I follow her on Instagram (forloveofacupcake) and she has started a challenge of eating clean for 30 days. That is the whole month of January!! To log your progress, you are to take pictures of your meals and use #forloveofacupcakejan I think it's great motivation knowing people are doing it with you!!
I started today so here are pictures I took of breakfast and lunch...
Follow me if you would like to join in on the fun and start motivating each other!! Follow @kris10_favoritethingsblog

This is great. how have you been doing. I stArted the Daniel fast 2.5 weeks ago. in which all I ate was fruits, veggies, and water... I surprisingly did well for 2 weeks. then last Friday (day 15) I had some " normal food" and I got so so sick. I did the same thing last night and was in the bathroom all night. it didn't even taste that great and was so not worth it. ive been loving apples with natural peanut butter too. yum. my fave.
