Starting the healthy eating now

Well for the last half year I have totally fallen off the wagon both with healthy eating and with exercise and I am really feeling it.  I was feeling so good the first half of the early.  I had lost 40 lbs and felt amazing (and those 40 lbs are back on which is so awful and unhealthy).  Thankfully Jill will be doing a program in the new year....won't start till the kids are back in school so I am making the decision to hop back on the wagon and get a jump start to this program.  I refuse to start it at the weight I started it at last year.

I need to take it seriously.  all this yoyo dieting is so bad and I am getting older so I need to make the remainder of my life a healthy one so that I am happy!!!  I have lots of stuff coming up in the new year and I don't want to be doing the whole "if only i was smaller, if only I had lost some weight, what will I wear etc"  I am so over doing that stuff.

Since I keep saying that food is my addiction then I need to take it seriously.  I need to avoid the foods I feel trigger my unhealthy behaviour.  I will stop making excuses to not go and workout at Jills.  I bought 24 classes and I want to use them wisely.

Meal prep is key for me to have great success with healthy eating so I need to make sure I do that.  Weekly menu's and meal prep will become a healthy habit of mine.  Keeping a clean house to won't be a bad idea either.  I have 5 days off in a row and I need to stop wasting them.  The other area of my  life that I want to work on is saving money and paying down debts.

I have been marking myself off on my days off at work so that is why I need to be more careful with my money and budget more wisely.  I still enjoy doing things without all the OT so why bother doing it!!

I need to make a list of my trigger foods and do my best to avoid them:

Chips
Chocolate (unless dark)
trail mix
cake/cupcakes
candy

those are a few of my triggers I am sure there are more but these are the big ones.

Here is to a healthy and happy 2016!!!!
