Day One

Today is the day I start my healthier life! I have been pinning healthy recipes and workouts on Pinterest all week. I also started a grocery list for myself and a meal plan for every week. Week one starts January 5th. I am very excited to see how it goes. These are some of the recipes I'm going to try for lunch and dinner next week:

Skinny Pasta Salad: This recipe comes from Skinny Mom: http://www.skinnymom.com/2013/05/14/skinny-pasta-salad/

Mexican Rice and Bean Burrito: This recipe is from http://skinnyms.com/spinach-bean-burrito-wrap/#5ghUxh8JExYVx3VA.99

My plan is to prepare everything on Sunday after church and then store it in the fridge until I need it. I also want to make a snack drawer in my fridge with pre-cut fruits and vegetables so I can make healthy snacks more accessible. Its better than just opening up a bag of chips which is what I'm used to doing. I'm hoping that by planning ahead and preparing early in the week, that I will be able to better achieve this goal.
