How are your New Years resolutions going after one week into 2017? Most people have probably forgotten they made them. I don't make resolutions, but I did decide to try something different this year. I think Making one big change is a lot easier to manage than a list of resolutions. I've decided during the work week days to stay away from take out and restaurant food. For personal reasons, I got into the habit of eating out and doing take out a lot in 2016, and I definitely put on some weight because of it. So I am now taking a look to see what a difference it makes if I stay away from those usually unhealthy choices. . I started it last week, and I already had several pounds fall away.
The problem is that if I don't have a healthy option to replace it, I'll likely just go back to my bad food habit. (Especially because I have no intention of giving up beer during the week). So I decided to look into some food delivery services. I tried Blue Apron last summer, and I definitely felt the difference because their food selections is much more healthy than a pub!
However, after awhile I realized that I wasn't going to be motivated to cook a time consuming meal after a long day at work. So I have started looking into services that deliver fully prepared meals. I currently ordered 7 meals from the first one I am Trying this week. It's vegan, and I chose it because it was the least expensive of the ones that deliver to my area. I have no intention of becoming vegan and hope to find a service with meat meals soon. Even if these services are kind of expensive up front, they are still a lot cheaper than a week of eating out.
Regardless, if I stick with it, I am guessing that changing this habit is going to make a significant improvement to my health. Everything else I'm keeping pretty much the same. I'm just making this one big change for 2017!
I will keep you updated as I progress!
