Making healthy decisions

This week I have been dedicated to making healthier decisions.  I have been reworking my meals and what I take in.  I find that when I meal plan, it makes things actually easier and more productive.  Although eating healthier can be more expensive, I find that with the meal planning it actually makes my grocery list longer however much less expensive because I am buying with a purpose.  It also makes my food waste less in addition because I am actually eating the foods I am buying and not hungry.

I find the key to keeping hunger at bay is to snack.  I was always a snacker however now I snack with a purpose.  I set my day meal's to make sure I am eating every two hours which helps boost my metabolism.  I try to have my Shakeology in the morning right after my workout to benefit and replenish essential vitamins I might have sweated out.  Today, after my workout, I had my Shakeology.  Then for my mid morning snack I had fruit.  For lunch, I enjoyed a Spinach, Parmesan salad with Strawberries.  For my mid afternoon snack, I will have cranraisins & nuts.  Finally for dinner, I will make Quinoa, green beans and a side salad.

I understand making the difficult decisions can be tricky however when you do the breakdown between Starbucks and Shakeology it is a no brainer.
