The Journey to a New Dee

Today starts the first day of my weight loss journey!

I went grocery shopping today and bought myself some goodies to start my new clean eating menu.

My mom always told me that to stay focused in the grocery store you have to stick to the perimeter to the store and DONT GO IN THE MIDDLE! In the middle is where all of the cake mixes and processed snack foods are. hehe

Anyway here are some pics of the food I started out with!

I got this huge squash that was only 99 cents! What I do with this is cut it in half, and broil it in the oven for around 20 minutes. When I take it out of the oven it is extremley soft and all I do is take a bowl and run a fork from the top to the bottom and it literally turns into strings and it looks like Spaghetti! I eat a huge bowl with a little bit of tomatoe sauce and it tastes just like spaghetti!

Here is a pack of fresh chicken breast that I can do so much with! You can easily salt and pepper this chicken and bake it in the oven where it is completly healthy! You can chop this up and add it in salads, or just eat it with fresh vegetables.

I got some turkey deli meat which isn't always the healthiest choice but you can easily put this in a whole wheat tortilla with vegetables and mustard for a nice wrap!

I got some cinnamon sticks for this new detox drink that I am going to be starting. All it is is an apple thinly sliced, with one cinnamon stick in a jug of water! I can't wait to start!

I got some yummy Fiji apples for my detox drink and also for a quick snack! These are awesome and will always be one of my favorite fruits!

I don't know about you but I LOVE SWEET POTATOES! They are huge and a perfect solution for a baked potato and such a yummy dinner! All I do is pop one of these in a microwave for five minutes and when it gets out I open it up down the middle and I put a tiny bit of butter, and cinnamon in it and it is out of this world!

My local grocery store had these cute little mini limes for five for a dollar! WOOH! I love limes to put in a jug of water with lemons for a nice drink! Also limes are cute squeezed over chicken or any meat! Plus I couldn't pass up on the amazing deal!

I got lemons and they were pretty big for three for a dollar! I love love love lemons and I literally use them all the time! I cook with them but I also use them for my skin! I cut one in half and put a drop of honey on the slice and rub it all over my skin that is freshly washed and exfoliated and it makes my skin amazingly soft!
