- 48 ounces of liquids
- Lean protein including lean meats, skinless chicken, fish, soy, beans and lentils
- Whole grains
- A multi vitamin
- Minimum of 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week

you can do it! I am working on eating the "eat to live way," and I haven't posted about it yet b/c I am too chicken to admit in in case I fail. especially b/c the Easter candy is on the way to my computer so I am easily tempted by it.I don't know if I am ready to make a public blog declaration but i can do my best to be supportive to you!
How sweet you are! Thanks! I have been debating with myself for days and days and days about blogging, not blogging. Today I finally decided I need some accountability so here I am. My motivation is that I am worried about being in Iowa and California in April...sure to have so many temptations as well as stress and pressure. My plan is that if I can have 3 "good" weeks here before I leave, I know I will feel better, have much more energy and do a better job with my recruiting presentations.
Move the candy out of your pathway!
Good for you - glad you've made the decision!! I'll be excited to see how things go for you. These next three weeks of success should be a good base to launch from as you travel.
love the picture, by the way. did you take it for this purpose or just found it among your collection?
The photo was taken by the student who is my intern this semster. She is putting together a photo essay to help students pack for a semester abroad.
What a creative approach to what must be a big decision process for your students.
I am fascinated and amazed by your decision to post your food choices on-line. Good luck! I can't wait for our visit in April
