You Are What You Eat!

As a kid, my friends and I would always giggle while eating lunch and visualizing ourselves becoming a pizza slice, an apple, or even a cupcake. “You are what you eat!”  If only we took this cliche more serious.

We are what we eat. We need to remember that every time we make meal decisions.  Now, I’m not saying that I never eat pizza, or a frozen dinner, or that amazing 1,000-calorie Mexican dish from my favorite restaurant, but it is rare. It is also a conscious decision instead of a blind one.

Don’t order, or shop without doing your research. Ignorance is not bliss. Your body knows when you are consuming unhealthy foods and foreign ingredients.

Here is my standard that I strive to follow:

·        The majority of my meals should be home made.
·        I need to follow the My Plate rule for meals.
·        If I do order out, I need to eat at home 4 days in a row (take-out doesn’t count for eating at home)
·        If I buy food from the freezer isle or the middle isles (soups, pastas, crackers… I MUST read the ingredients before I decide to actually put it in my cart.


Now, I have seasons of time where life happens, and therefore my healthy lifestyle takes a hit… you know, like a crazy first year of my baby’s life with surgeries, doctor appointments, and new mommy fatigue.

The key is making it a season; don’t give up in defeat. Instead, get back on track!
