eating right?

I have learned a lot in the last few months. My journey began with going with Lynn to a class to be supportive. I would show up and reap the benefits of not doing anything.
I was surprised to find out I quickly didn't know much about eating.
In the past with all the running and exercise I had been getting I had stayed relatively thin. As time went on and I slowed down, my appetite didn't.
I guess I was virtually walking around eating all of the time and feeling frustrated as I did.

Proportion et size of meals was the first big thing I learned. Also, balancing my day with fruit and veggies. Meat dominated my plate and I would guess it is the chief feature of most peoples plate in America.

Cutting down wasn't as hard as I thought. Writing down what I ate made it become more conscious.

Exercise is fun to me but getting out the door is the hard part. Once I am out it goes pretty easy; just put one foot in front of another.

  1. This is great Delaney! Being conscious of what you eat throughout the day surely will help, and portion sizing is what I have learned too! I understand that it's okay to save my leftovers for tomorrow, even if it's two bites. Glad to hear you are learning more about eating!
