Setting mini goals - eating
So what do I need to do to accomplish this goal...lots of things :)
As far as eating goes, for the next 11 weeks I vow to:
Strictly follow the core plan, using (and tracking) all of my 35 flex points and activity points
Focus on the Good Health Guidlines, Namely:
- Eat at least 5 servings of fruit and veggies each day(shouldn't be any problem for me!)
- Choose whole grain food whenever possible
- Include 2 servings of milk products every day (I'll do this by having milk with breakfast and dinner)
- Drink atleast 6 glasses (total of 1.5 litres) of water every day (have to focus on this during weekends!)
- Have some healthy oil each day, 2 tsp of olive, canola, safflower, sunflower, or flaxseed.
- Make sure you get enough protein, 1-2 servings a day from lean meats, fish, eggs
- Limit added sugar and alcohol (Already have the limited alcohol down pat, since i rarely ever have a drink. Am more aware of the sugar I have been eating and have been trying to reduce it)
- Take a multivitamin mineral supplement every day (I have FINALLY got this into my routine, and take one every night. Need to make sure if I am away for a night that I have them with me)
I have been trying a lot of new foods now that I am on core, and there are some really yummy grains/lentils/etc out there taht I had never tried before. I am pretty impressed,a nd hope to try and incorporate more of these foods into my everyday life.
