Full Plate Plan

I have been on so many diets, tried so many things, and have taken so many diet pills I am really sick of it. =[ The word diet is horrible in the first place. You should be changing your lifestyle and getting better not going on a diet to lose some weight.

About a week ago I was in a thrift store looking around. I noticed they had a sale on books: Fill a bag for a dollar. Well I love a good deal. So I started looking and found 5 or 6 intresting cookbooks, a romantic novel (ladies you know you have on or have read one before.), and some book on jimmy johnson (a friend of mine likes him alot.) Among the cookbooks I found was this one cookbook that i found intresting It had a picture of a plate on it and said The Full Plate...later on I looked at it closer and it said The Full Plate Diet. Well like I said I am not big on the word diet, but I started to read this book because somewhere in there were recipes. Normally I would go strighat to the recipes, but this time i started at page 1.

As I read this book I noticed that I could do this and that it was easy to follow. There were no restrictions or too much counting involoed. The basic concept is to eat 40 grams of fiber a day. Fiber is found in veggies, fruit, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. The book does say that you don't have to start with eating 40 grams a day, but to increase your fiber little by little till you get to that 40 grams a day. The book also says to drink plenty of water atleast 6 glasses a day. This sounds so much better than 8 atleast to me. So thats my new lifestyle that I am working on and doing now.

So far I am doing really well and taking baby steps. I don't drink as much water as I should, but I have been drinking more. Also I have increased my fiber and I am so excited. For example today I had 28 grams of fiber were normally I would of had maybe 8 grams all day.

Welcome to my blog/my life!!

I decided to make this blog because well I am always trying new things and changing the way I do things. I figured I would share what I do and how I do it.

Plus writting things do is how I remember how and what to do.

So Just to share a few new things I am trying (that will appear on this blog) and new changes in my life: Full Plate Diet (I don't like the word diet so I will say full plate plan or full plate lifestyle alot.), Couponing, Cleaning more, and Being more organized.

Thats just a few things as time goes on there will be more and more things I try and change. Don't get me wrong there are things I don't stay with long, and things I just don't do at all. I am a human and we all have a lazy bone and sometimes we don't like change. =] However, change is good for all of us because things do get boring and change can be better in the long run.

Thank you for following me and even for reading this post! (be aware I sometimes post more than once a day, but I will try to post just once.) Welcome to my blog Trying Something New....because now you are Trying Something New!!!!
