10 Minute Trainer Reviews: Healthy living

I cleaned out all of my cabinets and fridge today…….I was REALLY shocked to see what kind of junk I was feeding myself and my family (after reading the nutrition guide, I quickly learned what I thought were healthy choices weren’t so healthy). The kids were sad to see their sugary cereals and other snacks get tossed, and I can admit I wasn’t too happy to see my ice cream go. So I went grocery shopping to replace everything with more nutricious choices before the “Big Start” on Monday. Once I got there I realized maybe this won’t be so bad. My ice cream was easily replaced with all natural frozen fruit bars (no added sugar of course).  I can still have snacks, in moderation, and they definately don’t sound like cardboard! I stocked up on things like smoothies, whole grain or sourdough pretzels, and apples with peanut butter. My dinners won’t be lacking either. I can even still have a hamburger!!!! The nutrition guide basically helped me see that if I make wiser choices and be a little more “nutrition aware” I can lead a much healthier lifestyle and feel better too. Replace regular snack crackers and such with things that have whole wheat. I even found whole wheat waffles and pancakes (here my kids thought they would never eat again)! So all in all this sounds like it won’t be as undesirable as all the other “starve yourself to shed the pounds”. I am excited to see what changes I feel within myself just by eating healthier……and just wait until I start the workout!!!!!!
