I really need to set some small goals for myself as well if I'm going to succeed at this.<br /><br />One great snack food my old nutritionist introduced me to are Larabars - they are like a fruit/granola bar but only contain real fruit and nut products - no added sugar etc. They are great for tossing in the diaper bag or your purse so on the go when you can't find something healthy for yourself you can have it handy. (now I'm off to the store so I can follow my own advice!!)Liz {Learning To Juggle}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06241834348806369636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-68094366542056247762012-06-13T16:21:06.970-04:002012-06-13T16:21:06.970-04:00I like the idea of small attainable goals!

I need to get back on track. :)<br /><br />Healthy snacks for me, plain greek yogurt, fruit, veggies, low-fat cheese. I keep it simple. I want to start making my own protein/lara bars because they are expensive! But they are great snacks too!Melissa https://www.blogger.com/profile/06862254272585544685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-17971904556104466122012-06-13T14:08:03.184-04:002012-06-13T14:08:03.184-04:00Thanks for the snack ideas Stephanie!

I don't know why, so i'm going to start incorporating into our snacks as well. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885181421426829024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-57805509232088619102012-06-13T14:06:54.945-04:002012-06-13T14:06:54.945-04:00Yes, I need to start washing fruit when I bring it...Yes, I need to start washing fruit when I bring it home and keeping a bowl out. That's a great idea :) And I agree about excuses...but since I made the ab work a weekly goal (and it only takes 15 minutes) i'll even do it at night while i'm watching TV :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885181421426829024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-54131789764265054642012-06-13T14:05:54.186-04:002012-06-13T14:05:54.186-04:00Thanks Sarah.

I find keeping a piece of paper and pen on my counter is the best way. (I'm home during the day a lot though...you could keep it at your desk at work. Or, when I am out, I use the post-it app on my phone to write it down and transfer it to paper later. Sounds like a lot of work but it's really not.) <br /><br />Today for a snack I plan on having grapes...but I feel like I want to come up with more interesting things too, not just plain fruit. Because although great, healthy & delicious, it can get boring :/Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885181421426829024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-33889281028991604882012-06-13T14:03:36.284-04:002012-06-13T14:03:36.284-04:00You should blog about it and link up! :) Everyone ...You should blog about it and link up! :) Everyone is super supportive.

And that'...I love your fitness lifestyle goals!! And that's awesome you were able to recognize trends in your eating. My children don't know it but they are very deprived snack-wise. I never bought goldfish or string cheese or crackers. My infants/toddlers always had plain off brand cheerios (not the honey-nut kind!) for snacks. Or plain graham crackers. Or just a slice of American cheese. <br /><br />We are big fruit eaters. Last night I bought strawberries, apples, bananas, peaches, and plums. And it will all be gone in a week. I'll wash and cut the strawberries tomorrow to make them more convenient to grab for snacks/breakfast. I also buy baby carrots by the 5 lb bag (but I'm feeding 6 people!). If I have to peel and chop a carrot for 4 kids it's never going to happen. But I can grab a handful or two of baby carrots, rinse, and they're reading to eat.Stephanie Kayhttp://stephaniesmommybrain.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-do-you-create-lifestyle-of-fitness.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-63540671102277368612012-06-13T10:44:04.503-04:002012-06-13T10:44:04.503-04:00Wow, working out 5 times this week!

I had a whole routine set up for circuit training for outside... and then it rained for 4 days straight, so I did not do it... and then the day the sun came out, I went outside and thought, "It's too hot... I don't wanna work out in this heat." So many excuses. ALthough I did get to Zumba and circuit training at the fitness center this week, I need to self motivate at home more to get in more workouts in the week.<br /><br />As far as healthy snacks, you just can't beat fruits and veggies. Just make sure to have some on hand and accessible. For instance, right now I have a huge bag of cherries on my coffee table. I just grabbed a few for snack time and would have otherwise aten some chips if the cherries weren't accesible.Live Simply Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476167084070076646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-14278479479150438692012-06-13T10:35:55.479-04:002012-06-13T10:35:55.479-04:00Great job with the food diary!

I think it's awesome it helps you make small modifications that can show a big result. It's not about being perfect, it's about learning trends and how to create new, healthier habits. <br /><br />I'd love it if we could maybe come up with some great snacks from natural foods because, honestly, I could eat a bag of goldfish a day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911846571009145088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097608524604685450.post-81437215530457790532012-06-13T10:33:17.094-04:002012-06-13T10:33:17.094-04:00I went & read through some of the other women&...I went & read through some of the other women's post last night & you all have inspired me to start! I don't necessarily want to lose weight but rather start a healthier life style. Especially food wise. And exercise wise. I had made up my mind that we'd head out for a walk as soon as Ree woke up. And it's poring out! Instead I'll make a list of healthier foods that I should pick up at the store. Especially for snacks. Like you I tend to go for the processed foods ALL. THE. TIME. Or chocolate. Or ice cream! Thank you for the inspiration and push :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652841165702271275noreply@blogger.com
