A new year and some new bods (well maybe). We have decided to eat healthier and start to take care of us. I know – it’s us and everybody else in the world that made some new year’s resolutions and I know 99% will not keep this resolution much beyond this month.
I like to look at it as making goals for the year as opposed to a resolution (is there really a difference) and that way I can break it down into small steps. Goals are more achievable when we break them down into smaller steps. It makes us feel better when we can reach to the next rung on the ladder and then actually make it to the rung and start to reach for the next one.
I’m finding that the busier I get with Younique business and with my personal life the more I start to hyperventilate when I think of everything I have to do and how in the world am I ever going to get everything done. All of you out there that are juggling jobs, home life, kids and kids activities know exactly what I’m talking about. So…..deep breath and one step at a time – complete one small task and try not to look at the big picture – just look at one piece of the puzzle at a time. It really does make a difference and if we have to remind ourselves of that every hour, then we remind ourselves of it every hour.
So enough of the pep talk. Mr. Clean just completed 2 days of a cleanse program and is now entering into 2 weeks of the South Beach Diet Phase 2. If you aren’t familiar with the South Beach Diet it means 2 weeks of no carbs, no fruits just lots of veggies and protein. I’m a Weight Watchers girl through and through (having lectured for them for 7 years) but I do like the South Beach as a good start to losing weight, it’s a good way to clean out your body and really helps you get rid of cravings for sweets and sugars.
Next week I’m back on program with Weight Watchers but I’m starting to watch what I’m eating this week (watch as I eat the cake and the muffins, etc LOL) and I’ll cut back big time in prep for next week and the reality check on the scale.
For dinner tonight I did a really nice shrimp stir fry for us with lots of veggies.
Cleaned the shrimp
Chopped up some veggies – celery, broccolli and onions
chop and add some carrots
What’s a stir fry without some garlic
Start with some olive oil and I also used some Epicure Asian stir fry seasoning
