Getting Healthy

So I decided to get healthy for summer like most of us. I am an avid lover of processed foods. Goldfish, Skittles, Dr.Pepper, and everything else bad but so good. But I figured if I eat healthy for at least 21 days (and yes give up my lover Dr.pepper and all soft drinks) that maybe just maybe it will stick. So I decided to start tomorrow. I know what your thinking, "You're procrastinating!", "Just start now Magen!". Well I would if I had the idea before I started the day off with a Swiss Cake Roll and a Dr.Pepper. Plus I needed to go shopping for healthy food since my pantry is full of junk. This is what I got:

Celery Stalk - .99 Cents

Organic Carrots - $1.99

Organic Strawberries - $2.99

2 small Gala Apples - .80 Cents

2 Bell Peppers (orange and yellow) - $3.78

Half a Seedless Watermelon .99 Cents

Jiff to-go - $2.59

Lightly Salted Peanuts - $1.99

Bolthouse 100% Natural 50/50 Juice - $3.50

Now all together all those snacks for 2 weeks was only $20.10! I thought healthy food was expensive but really junk food is more expensive. As long as you do like I did and don't buy things pre-chopped (they charge way more for something that doesn't take more than 8 minutes for you to do). Now I bought the peanut butter to dip the celery in. Do not dip these veggies in Ranch or your favorite dressing, eat them raw or add a little peanut butter. I bought slightly salted peanuts instead of unsalted just because im going to need a little something to get me to eat them!

The hardest part for me is to give up Soda's. I'm extremely addicted! Like 4 soda's a day kind of addicted. I HATE water, its gross to me unless I'm sweating. The website I read said to add natural things to your water to make it taste better. And no not those powdered drink mixes that make you think their healthy (Their not!). Now this Bolthouse juice is all natural gluten free and half veggie half fruit! I linked it above so you all can read about it. Its so yummy, and not in the healthy kind of yummy the real yummy! You add just a splash to your glass of water to give a little something extra.

Oh and I forgot to mention that you get one cheat day! Eat something you love even if its bad just so you don't lose your mind. Those are just snack items and I drink a smoothie for lunch and fish or baked chicken and rice for dinner. I will let you all know everything I'm feeling or every time I cheat!
