"Diet"

So we're technically two weeks into Healthy U.
(Our class has had a lot of unique situations already!)

We had our first weigh-in this past Thursday. I was down 3 pounds! And down 9 pounds since I first weighed in for my physical to be cleared for the program.

I had made it a personal goal for myself to do really well on my diet, because that is where in the past I have always really struggled. And I haven't been PERFECT, but I've been pretty close! And now that I have done a better job with my diet, I am seeing faster results in the gym since my body is being fueled proper nutrition and not just whatever I want whenever I want it.

I can feel the composition of my body changing: which is what I'm most interested in.

My family has been asking me a lot of questions about what I eat, when I eat it, how much, etc. And I answer their questions the best I can... and one day my cousin asked if I would prep meals for her if she purchased the food. I said yes (because I literally can't say no when people ask me to do them favors) and then several other family members joined in.

So, today we had a meal prep party. We prepped meals for 4 people, 6 meals for each for the upcoming week. That's 168 meals! We did it in 5 hours, which is pretty good. I haven't prepped for myself this week yet, but I am getting ready to.

I told my nutrition coach that I have really enjoyed this so far because I know exactly what I'm eating and when. So it has curbed my need to drive through the drive-thru and get meals that are thousands of calories. My blood sugar stays pretty steady, so I don't have crashes and cravings like in the past. Over all, my meals have been going well! Which I'm excited about. Like I said, I wanted to really focus on my diet/nutrition at first and then get the gym thing figured out.

Yay for the new week!
