And Its All Systems Go!

It’s day one of this so called epic journey that I’m about to embark on, and I’m no nutritionist  or fitness fanatic so over the last few days I have been blog hopping and googling my heart out to see what fact and tips I can find, and to be honest it’s a hornets nest of scary information and fad diets…. Fad Diet Fails - Avoid Them, have a look on this site and do your own research to avoid putting your body to the extreme and just putting the weight back on..

So I’ve taken it to my own whim to make this my own and call bullshit to those people looking for a quick fix to slim down, simply because yeah you might lose the weight.. but BAM its back on tenfold! After that it was time to hit woollies and stock up on clean eating food!

I went down shopping Saturday and stocked my fridge with healthy food, it is so much cheaper to buy healthy food than garbage, when you take your time and really have a good look around the super market you find the most interesting things and stuff that you wouldn’t regularly buy when your rushing through. I picked up heaps of fresh fruit and vegetables and herbs mmmm was looking real healthy!   I have never tried kale or Quinoa but there’s a first for everything I say.

I did heaps of prep for work Sunday afternoon, making Vietnamese rolls with peanut sauce and grilling up some mean looking Schezuan chicken with a simple salad (NO DRESSING) to make some wraps and just doing up all my snacks to avoid the evil chocolate binge!! And my god they looked fantastic J

(This isn't mine, but just so you can see what they look like) 

I’m also getting into drinking green tea and downing 2 – 3L of water a day to keep myself hydrated and rinsing the toxins from my body. For anyone who has tried green tea (hot) it has such a bitter taste, I steep mine in cool water and leave in the fridge for a while and add some ince and have a nice ice green tea. And sometimes when I’m feeling outrageous, I add a squeeze of fresh lime and a sweetener, usually agave nectar mmmm so fantastically yummy.

I’m really excited to get started, and be an example for my family and friends. My dad’s on board and is willing to try whatever I cook up, and my boyfriend I think will be willing to give it a go.

If you want any recipes please let me know and Ill post them up :)
