Follow My Diet / Lifestyle Change Series

As you may have been reading this past week, I have started a new series called Follow My Diet / Lifestyle Change. Well I now have my first week behind me…yay! The first day went really easy but by day two it got a little rough. As I am sure a lot of you know, changing the way you eat can be a challenge. I am no different and face those same challenges. But hey, I have made it through week one!

The two things I had trouble with this past week was I already have some not so healthy foods in my house that I did not want to go to waste. So I have been mixing it up having a few here and there until the house is only full of healthy foods.  The other one is finding ways to exercise. I do not have anything like a bike or a treadmill, so finding ways to do light workouts is hard. It is still to cold and nasty out to walk outside. So I have to make due with what is available.
