Healthy Living: Portion Control Follow Up

So a couple months ago I made a post about proper portion sizes. I wanted to do a quick follow up to let you know how it has been going for me.

I'm sad to admit that portion sizes was the only thing I was really able to focus on. I had wanted to get myself to the gym more often, but that just didn't happen. I'm so lazy... haha But even though exercise was not something I was able to jump right into, I found that controlling my portions was!

When I was writing that post, even I thought to myself: portion control... looks a lot easier than it probably is. I found it to be a lot easier than I thought and I'm really glad I actually gave it a shot. The biggest change in my eating habits was what I ate at work. I work at a restaurant and  the food we serve there is FAR from healthy and FAR FAR from proper portion sizes. For example, we serve BBQ Chicken there which comes with TWO chicken breasts & TWO sides. That's just way too much food.

I also find that when I eat on my break at work, I don't want to only eat half of something like that and box it up. Frankly, I have no where to put it except my car. But I also had to pay for it, so I don't want to waste it! Hopefully you can understand my dilemma.

The first thing I tried was ordering off of the Kid's menu. Sounds a little extreme and my co-workers are constantly making fun of me, but I've learned that sadly enough, the portion sizes are perfect for adults! What I order most often is our Kid's Chicken & Rice. It's a 5oz. grilled chicken breast and the citrus rice we serve at my work that I love! At first, I got a little hungry before dinner time had arrived, but after only a few days my body was used to it and it fills me up. The hunger I felt at first wasn't even anything to complain about. I also found it much easier to get through the day since I wasn't so stuffed with (bad) food!

With just this one simple change, I've noticed myself making healthier choices at other restaurants and ordering smaller portion options. I can't say it's made a huge difference in my weight, since again I'm not really exercising, but I definitely noticed my belly flattening slightly & I felt bloated so much less often (which was becoming kind of a problem for me).

I apologize for being so wordy & rambly but I was excited to share with you how easy this turned out to be and encourage you all to watch your portions (if you don't already)! Let me know if you are currently trying to make some similar changes in your diets. I'd love to hear about it. : )

Top 5 Fit Ladies in Hollywood

I'm all about loving your own body & not being obsessed with body image to be happy, but everyone has their own ideal. These are the top 5 ladies that inspire me because they are fit, they look healthy, & they are hott!

Beyonce.

I'm a big-bootied girl (which I have to accept will never change) & this woman makes me love it!

(check out my Beyonce FOTD here)

Miranda Kerr.

Everytime I look through a Victoria's Secret catalogue she always catches my eye! Her tummy is perfect, & she's just so darn cute!!

(check out my Miranda FOTD here)

Katy Perry.

She's just absolutely gorgeous. Enough said.

Megan Fox.

I know a lot of people don't like her, but they have to admit at least that she is sexy! I always love her makeup looks as well.

Lady GaGa.

Yes, she's strange & shocking, but her figure is just ridiculous! She has that amazing dancer's body (the kind that can get away with wearing those leotards all the time), which would definitely be my ideal body.






So anyway, these are the ladies that I think about when I'm on that treadmill! haha

Who are your fitness inspirations?
