How times change

Last night I was making up a grocery list for tomorrow and as I looked at it I was thinking how different that list would have been a few years ago!

This is what is on my list to pick up in the morning:

• cucumber, peppers, kale, green onions, apples, avocado, tomato
• blueberries, bananas, ginger, strawberries and pineapple
• dubliner cheese
• frozen spinach 
• greek yogurt
• eggs, egg whites
• ezekiel bread
• chicken tenders
• tuna for us and for Snuffy!
• almond breeze
• shrimp
• coffee
• green tea
• popcorn
• turkey
• 2 frozen dinners for the hubs while I'm at work
• bragg amino acids
• agave
• vitamin D
• folic acid
• honey
• protein powder

This is what would have been on my list years ago:

• chips and dip
• pop
• frozen fish fingers
• ice cream
• popsicles
• bananas
• white bread
• poptarts
• sugar
• chef boyardee
• macaroni and cheese (we still have it but not every week)
• muffins
• fries

I'm not kidding each and everyone of those would have been in my cart! Every week!

Believe you me I do feel a lot better for not each that stuff.  In fact I upped my water intake yesterday and today and I'm already feeling so much better. Sometimes you just don't realize how much better just a few changes will make.

I didn't all of a sudden decide I was going to change my eating. It was definitely baby steps and it took quite a while to figure out what foods I liked and what ones I still don't like :)

Now I'm off to get ready for work.

Today's nosh:

Breakfast: greek yogurt, raspberries, banana, slice of toast, 2 tbsp kefir and almond breeze for coffee

Lunch: chopped veggies, chilli dressing, tuna and my iced tea for today ;)

Snack: green monster (kale, frozen spinach, banana, pineapple, protein powder, blueberries and water)

Took to work: apple, dubliner Irish cheese, protein drink (not shown)

After work: a glass of wine :) Friday is usually the busiest day at work and I do have to say I enjoy a glass of wine after!
