Roxanne's 2nd Post
After planning my self-change goal on April 13, I found it was more difficult to follow than I originally had thought. starting Wednesday night I wanted to follow my plan of eating home cooked meals rather than fast food like Mc Donald's or togo's, but realized I had not yet went grocery shopping. Instead I was stuck with ramen...even though this is not really any better I was still able resist taking the easy road. Throughout the past week I have calculated that I usually eat out roughly around 11 times a week. It was disappointing to actually see how unhealthy my diet has become. I found that planning my schedule around school in the mornings and work at night leaves me with only one hour in between sometimes. Over the week I was able to cut back on the fast food diet from 11 times to 7 times a week. while this is still considered bad, even for a college student, I believe I am slowly improving which is my goal. I went grocery shopping for sandwich and soup ingredients. This should be quick and easy to make. I still am looking for more of a variety to add to my diet that can be easily made. Hopefully by next week I will improve more.

Hey Roxanne, I can see that it's tough to make drastic changes to your usual diet. The best way is to take it slowly on limiting things. When I want to go out and eat, I'd probably think of going to places like Fresh Choice or Sweet Tomatoes. Cooking does take up time since you have to go grocery shopping and prep up the food. What I learn from myself is to just buy enough so you don't waste food or let it sit there and get spoiled. Try to be creative with sandwiches so you won't get tired of eating the same thing over and over again. Also, try to add some fruits and vegetables as a snack instead of snacking on unhealthy junk food.

ReplyDeleteI am never talking to you again until you completely stop eating fast food! Just kidding! Nice job cutting down. Eating out 11 times a week is definitely a lot, and it is certainly not healthy. 7 times is much better, but you should still continue to work at it. I know how it is to be in a rush and need to grab a quick bite, but maybe when you go shopping you can buy extra food to last more than a day. You can stash snacks in different convenient locations (like your car, or your purse), and resort to that instead of the drive-through.
Overall though, good job at cutting down! I expect next week to be even lower. Have a healthy day!
