On Track and Holding

We are on track with the new eating behavior and maintaining a steady weight. As I have said before, weight is not the real goal but changing the way we eat and live is. Weight is a result of a balanced behavior of eating and exercising. Can you guess which one I have been slacking on?
 
We are not getting our exercising in as we had hoped. Perhaps that is the problem . . . hoping and not doing.

Since we started this diet we have lost a considerable amount of weight and have kept that initial weight off. We have also been faithful with the eating routines we developed early on. Once in a while we will have an ice cream cone from Sonic or a sandwich from the Village Coffee House. I will even slip in a cup of coffee from time to time, but not as a regular thing and certainly not as a habit. We want to maintain the value of living with healthy foods and not sacrifice our wellness with trash foods, (processed junk) and things that do not do well in the human body.

Think of what they ate in the garden and what you could get from the garden. Those are the foods you should be eating the most of. Vegetables and fruits, nuts and good grains. Water in abundance of a gallon or more a day to keep your body hydrated and the parts moving like they should. Eating smaller portions 5 times a day and not stuffing yourself but just taking the edge off your hunger. If you do these things you will be eating healthy and your body will show its appreciation by shedding weight and developing muscle when you exercise.

For today, that is about it. I will start posting some recipes as we have time to but think veggies for now. Raw veggies preferably and lots of them. Your body will thank you.
