healthy

I need to start eating healthy food, really I'm feeling quite guilty about the pie I ate at lunchtime, and about the GUT I have now but i didn't have it six months ago (in February when I went to puerto rico). 
 
A healthy diet I could stick to day after day, that would be an idea, a new idea for me.
 
Four square medium size meals every day.
 
400-450 calories at each meal
 
two cups of green tea brewed every day at work 
 
Yes, yes, that would be the life.
 
If I could imagine such a world, what would it look like?
Breakfast would be oatmeal with pecans, every day.  Oh and blueberries. Oatmeal with pecans and blueberries (they're sooo good for you)
 
Lunch would be brown rice, a scrambled egg mixed in, and ham or turkey slices. I could eat 400 calories worth of that.
 
aftwer work: definitely vegetables. A healthy salad including carrots, snap peas, raddish and spinach.... with avacado dressing.
with a side of toasted wheat bread and strawberry preserves.
 
then I'd go to exercise after that, each and every day (well, every day that I don't have specified plans such as work) I'd go exercise at about 5:45 pm. It could be sooo nice.
 
dinner: A sandwich and a side of green beans.  Since variety is the "spice of life" maybe also a little trail mix: apples/grapes/almonds.
 
Grocery shopping list: (but of course I wouldn't have to buy all this stuff every time, because some stuff like mustard just one container lasts so long)
 
  • apples
  • grapes
  • avocado
  • lettuce for salad
  • carrots, diced
  • sugar snap peas
  • radish
  • spinach
  • veggie slices
  • almonds
  • pecans
  • brown rice
  • bread
  • extra virgin olive oil (for frying those eggs)
  • mustard
  • strawberry preserves (low sugar of course)
  • Oatmeal
  • deli meat
  • soy milk
  • Eggs
  • frozen blueberries
  • calcium supplements
  • iron pills
  • lactose intolerance pills, but I wouldn't need my lactose pills in this case because in this scenario, I wouldn't be eating any lactose.

    Good plan!!

    There you are!!  Been wondering what you've been up to.
     
    Your plan sounds like a good one.  Doable... not a lot of weekday prep to pull it off.  I might throw a vegetable at lunch... carrot sticks/hummus, celery, brocolli to round it out.  The rest sounds perfect (breakfast is my favorite!).
     
    You can do this.  Forget the gut, forget the pie.  I know you have this in you = )
     
    See what the gym is willing to do for you as far as membership... is there a Y nearby...  tell them you are a grad student, single head of household, search online for discount coupons... see if they are willing to negotiate.  It's gonna be too cold/dark to run with your hours very soon! 
     
    Good to see you!
