A Healthier Mindset

So for the past 9 days I have really been trying to be overall more healthy.  I have probably tried more new food and recipes this week then I probably did in all of 2011.  I start every morning off with a glass of hot green tea and usually a new recipe from hungry girls 300 under 300.  This morning its Sweet and Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding.  That book has been glued at my hip lately.  I always start with green tea to get my metabolism going.  Then lunch can be a variety of things but I always try to have some kind of greens with it.  Snacks are fresh fruits or 100 calorie packs.  I get dinner recipes form a variety of places including things I have always made, hungry girl 300 under 300, and weightwatchers.com.  With my first week of eating healthy I lost 2 pounds.  The thing I am having the hardest time with is getting my bootay up every morning to get on the treadmill.  However, waking up 3 times a morning is still more then I was doing a week ago.  I missed my morning workout today but should still get to do my afternoon workout.  This week is crazy so I am a little worried about eating healthy and getting workouts in.  I have a plan just have to make sure I stick with it.  I don't think I have ever been as motivated as I am right now to get healthy.  I truly feel like I am a great place. I am not doing this just because I want to lose weight.  I am doing this because I want to learn how to be healthier me.  Only draw back to all this healthy eating the grocery bill is CRAZY every week.  I may have to take up gardening this summer :)  Well I hope everyone has a great Monday and I'll type more later!
