One thing I've learned is that prepping is key! Especially with my busy lifestyle (as most do) and the unhealthy foods offered at my work. I only eat the devil foods when I have nothing else around. Most of the snacks I bring I can't wait to gobble them down (when I have them). Instead of grabbing that cake in the coffee room at work, how about Greek yogurt?
Also, it's important to feel good about yourself when you choose a healthy snack over unhealthy. For example, I know string cheese is not THE best snack I can have, but it beats the free potato chips at work. I try not to eat a ton of processed foods but dry cereal, wheat tortillas, and oatmeal are not a bad thing when choosing over junk food. I used to get mad at myself for not eating straight paleo or organic veggies, but now I've realized I'm still making good choices.
Here's a few snacks I threw together in my lunchbox for work
-String cheese
-Turkey pepperoni
-Greek yogurt
-Pear
-Tuna w mixed veggies
-Whole wheat low carb tortilla
-Trail mix w dark chocolate
-Cantaloupe and grapes
Not a bad day for snacking :-) this created sustainable energy to last me all day.
Remember pride yourselves over the good choices because it could always be worse! Celebrate success and prep, prep, prep!
