Back to drinking water - I've really been slacking on drinking regular water (I can easily drink the recommended 8 glasses a day) so before I go to bed tonight I'm filling up some bottles and putting them in the fridge. I use multiple bottles so I can rotate them. Once I'm finished one, I have another waiting in the fridge that is nice and cold then I can fill the empty one and replace it in the fridge with the one I've just taken. I'm quite thankful that I enjoy drinking water, I don't have to force myself or add things to it so I'll drink it.
Preparing meals again - I've been eating utter crap and totally stopped preparing delicious healthy meals. I am living on a very tight budget but it is possible to eat healthy 'on the cheap'. I might have to go back to being one of those annoying people who posts pictures of their meals to instagram (aroseforepona) to keep myself accountable! I need to try and get a big poster of this and put it in my kitchen for when I do prepare meals.- I think one of the main reasons I don't do all that much cooking is I don't have any faith in my cooking skills! Practice makes perfect though, so kitchen you will become my bitch!
Finally - POSITIVE THINKING.
I believe in myself and I know I can do this.
I do have other goals that I want to focus on and smash through but these are my main four to get myself back on track. Once I am back in the swing of healthy living I will look at adding more goals to challenge myself.
What goals would you recommend?
Try making risotto! Its so healthy and super easy to make!
ReplyDeleteIngredients:
1 onion
1 pepper
4/5 mushrooms
chicken
1/3 of a mug rizotto rice (Its called Arborio rice and thats enough for 2 meals)
1 stock cube
In a pan sweat off the onion with a little bit of butter, add in the mushrooms & pepper until they are a little soft and then add you chicken. Once the chicken is cooked add in the rice and enough water to cover the rice, finally crumble the stock cube in and leave to simmer until the water is gone and the rice is soft. If the water is absorbed before the rice is soft just add some more water. It should have a similar consistency to paella :)
Such a simple recipe but SO tasty! xxx
I would love to try that recipe Bernadette but I don't like onions or mushrooms and I'm allergic to peppers so it would be chicken, risotto and stock for me! But thank you for taking the time to send me it.
DeleteI might actually try it with just those 3, never know it might be tasty like that ;) xxx
My goal is to eat the daily recommended 7-9 servings of veggies a day. I may have a couple of servings of fruit in there instead of all veggies, but I know from experience if I eat all my veggies, everything else falls into place.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to us both!
I really need to up my veggie intake again. Not the biggest fan of fruit but I really need to try and get more into my diet. Blender, here I come!
DeleteWe can do this! :)
Good luck x I've been doing ok on the diet front but I just can't get into exercise at all
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm struggling to get into both properly, making slow progress though so better than nothing :)xx
DeleteGreat plan! I also need to get back on track, just trying to do things one step at a time!

DeleteGood luck with it :) LEt me know if you would like to follow one another :) xx
