In need of a jolt.

So I'm beginning to settle into my new schedule with school and work. My stomach thing lasted about 3 days, and then other lady problems occured, so last week was a definite miss on the working out side, but I have been doing great, like super great with my eating. It's at the point were, I don't even think unhealthy anymore.

Last night, I went out for to dinner with my mom. It was just us two at home, so we decided to treat ourself. The menu was really unhealthy, even the salads raised red flags for me. So, I got a veggie burger, only ate it with half the bun, and got a side salad instead of fries. So yummy.

Tonight it is pizza or chinese night at my house, which is my weekly battle. I had a cup of white rice (mom forgot to ask for brown) , and got steamed veggies and beef. Do you know how hard it is to eat STEAMED chinese food, when there is sesame chicken, and beef lo mein staring at you in the face? I do, it is NOT fun at all. However, I know I don't even want that crap anymore..

I have been thinking about a jolt in my diet. Things are moving really slow for me since my 7 pound lost in the beginning of the month, even though I am doing a great job with my caloric intake and my workouts. I have been trying out a "less meat" not a "meat less" thing. I just feel like I eat to much meat, and dairy. Every night I usually have chicken, or some kind of red meat. I want to try to limit chicken to only two times a week, and red meat to once a week, or even once every 2 weeks. This will allow me to eat a lot more veggies and whole grains. I want to base my meals around those things rather then meat. Also, I looked through all my journal entries and on average eat dairy 4 times a day. I'm cutting that down to 2 times a day. I've been trying this for about a week now, and I can honestly say, I think it is beneficail for me. I know a lot of people depend on meat for their protein, however, Im going to try really hard and find other, healthier food. We'll see how it goes!
