Well I have nearly 5 weeks until the wedding on June 12 and I have taken the dress to get altered. I fell off the wagon after Easter and have not been very disciplined in my eating habits since then, which has greatly slowed my weight loss. Over the next 4 weeks in May, I will be doing the Curves weight management class combined with some whole food principles found in "The Maker's Diet" by Jordan Rubin. Dr. Rubin had many digestive disorders that were healed by eating foods found in the Bible. He advocates eating a nutrient dense whole foods diet. My biggest struggle is planning ahead and preparing meals in advance. I want to avoid scrounging the cabinets and making unhealthy choices. I will post my meals for the week of May 9-15 to stay accountable and have healthy choices. It will take faith, perseverence and discipline, but the results will be well worth the effort.
I recently aquired an upright freezer, so I will be able to prepare extra items for when we are busy and short on time. One resource that I have found for healthy, freezer meals is www.heavenlyhomemakers.com. Laura, (I also like her name) has several very helpful posts on how to cook in larger quantities for freezing. She also has a lot of "High Five" meals with 5 ingredients or less.
