Copied from another health & fitness site. The photo to which I refer below is for my supper today.
So, a little while ago today, I shared that, starting today, I'm starting to track. For now, as do lots of people, I'm going to just track my food & exercise for about two weeks or so to see where I am starting out with my eating. I've made some changes recently & am eating healthier overall than I had for quite a while, but I'm curious to see if it's really as healthy as I think it is.
I think that a lot of people do this kind of tracking for about a week, but I want to do this for two weeks just to give myself a proper chance to really examine my diet & to truly see how I'm doing.
Today just happens to be a day in which I'm having good, balanced meals, but not every day is like this. So doing this for two or so weeks will allow me to get a good look at things.
I've started going for short walks to get back to moving outside work, since I stopped that when I got my car.
As my dad said yesterday, I really need to be intentional about my exercise. It's not a need for doing things as it was before my car came into my life, & so it's something I have to decide to do whether I want to or not.
So the next two weeks or so will have quite an interesting record of what I consume & do food- & exercise-wise.
The food pictured here is Chef's Plate Creamy Mushroom 🍄 Pasta. It's so good! At least if you like mushrooms. I don't like mushrooms - I LOVE mushrooms. Yum!
Whoever came up with the idea of Chef's Plate & other companies like it had a fantastic idea. A lot of people want to cook healthily but can't necessarily go shopping for supplies. Some do have the time but aren't quite sure what to make. Being able to peruse a list of dishes for any given week & choose a couple of things is cool.
For me it's not a matter of being too busy to shop. I have plenty of time for that. Rather, it's a way for me to push myself to try new dishes. The one today isn't completely new to me, although I've not put spinach in a dish, & I don't use onions as a rule - I really don't like them - unless a recipe calls for them. I used just half the onion that came with the supplies, or else it would've been too "onion-y" for me.
Chef's Plate won't be a weekly thing for me, but it's something nice to have as an option if I want. It's a bit too much for me to spend every week. But I had a discount for this, being my first time & having been referred by a friend.
Anyway, it's just another thing I've been trying since I turned 50. Yeah! 😁🤓
The other meal for which they sent me supplies is a turkey 🦃 chilli. That'll be interesting since turkey's not my favourite meat, but I'm willing to try it out.
So, yeah! We shall see how the next two weeks work out. I won't weigh myself during this time. That can wait until the end to get an idea of how things have gone.
