Each day is a new canvas, waiting for me to paint. Most pictures start off going great guns, with a planned breakfast smoothie chock full of organic fruits and veggies, pure protein powder, and a healthy shake powder mix. I love the process of putting all the layers into the blender and then watching them whir into the purple/green mixture. There are no downsides to my morning smoothie. So I'm usually good until noon every day.
After writing for 20 minutes off-line this morning, the next steps have become evident to me. The first step is to eat the perimeter of the grocery store. At my store, that includes the fruits/vegetables, health food section, meats, and dairy. It also includes the bread section, which isn't typically part of what "they" mean when they say to eat the perimeter. I believe I will leave that in for now, as I tend to sproing back in reaction overmuch when my body senses denial/deprivation.
My second baby step is to keep a record of everything I eat. I won't list it all here, but anyone who wants to know anything is welcome to ask. There might even be someone who would like to be a type of accountability buddy for me, but the baby step right now is just to write it all down.
Are baby steps adequate? I've crashed and burned way too many times when making things too austere. We shall see. Thanks for witnessing my journey.
What baby step might you take today to further your goals? What can I do to support you in that?

Whatever helps keep you aware of what you eat is a good thing. I had to go low carb because I can't eat 'just a little'
