i love food......

i'm not ashamed nor am i shy to say that i love to eat, i love love love food. I used to be pretty good about exercise and keeping up a semi decent diet. Well since olivia was born my diet has gone downhill and my exercise routine is almost non existent. I worked out once this week.....whoa what's that gonna do right?! And of course, my husband's bad habits tend to rub off on me because i have no willpower and he is a fast food junkie. And now that i am no longer thinking of being a student and stressed out completely with homework on top of my schoolwork, i have a little bit more time to think about being healthy. i'm so unhappy with my body and how it feels and looks, but i must not be that unhappy if i am not motivated to change it, right? i dont know. i need to get organized. I usually try to plan dinners ahead of time, but i will let you know, i hate going to the grocery store and my husband refuses to go with me, so he will only go pick up a couple of things late at night. So planning most days comes to: what do we have in the house?" then i come home from work and i am super tired and dont really feel like thinking or cooking. So i figure i need to be super organized and prepared with a menu in hand and ingredients that i can reuse on other nights. So i need some easy, healthy recipes and suggestions to get organized. HELP, i love food, i hate being fat, i want to exercise, what do i do?

Katie, you are so beautiful!! But I sure know what it is like to be unhappy with how you look. Planning meals has been a huge help to me. Good luck with it!

Katie, I have to agree with Tonni ...you are beautiful!! BUT I can sympathize in how you feel ...I started planning meals out of necessity of being prepared for my daycare kids and it evolved from there...If you are interested, I have tons of super easy crockpot, cook ahead and healthy meal ideas...as well as some fun websites that have helped me. Oh and forgive me for lurking on your blog but I love reading your very honest entries...so many things you say, some of us feel but can't put it into words!!!

Katie I will too say that you are a Beautiful Woman of God! Yet I am right there with all of you ladies. I think after you have children... and me having two at once... can make you not feel to great about yourself. But the nice weather is upon us, which means we can get out and walk!!! Meal planning has helped us too, I have been using Tonni and Tracy's tips, they have helped a ton! Good luck sweetie <3
