Chelsea Gets Healthy

Day 1!

Back in the spring, my husband and I started eating significantly healthier than we were in the past. We started shopping almost every weekend at our local Saturday farmer's market and not eating strictly vegetarian, but pretty close. I am actually a former vegetarian. My favorite vegan friend Sandra is constantly urging me to go full vegan, but I could never, EVER give up dairy. I just love ice cream, milk, and cheese way too much!

Not so sure about this...

So for day one I started out with a cinnamon bagel and Naked Juice Green Monster Smoothie (note, this is NOT a sponsored post, I have no affiliation what so ever). Bagel, delicious. Smoothie, eh. I feel good that I got so much good stuff in my belly but I did have to hold my nose as I quickly drank it down! I am hoping my next flavor tomorrow will be tastier! Photographic evidence of my first time trying Green Monster:

Not very pretty.

I'm basically working on eating healthier and staying under a certain calorie limit on a daily basis. Nothing extreme, extreme diets lead to extreme weight loss and typical re-weight-gain.

I think my eyebrows do the talking here.

My daily calorie budget is 2,160. For my size and a HEALTHY rate of weight loss, this is a good number. Back in the spring, I lost 15lbs using this method. I think its good to try it again. Today's breakfast of juice and bagel came in at 659 calories, I'm good with that!

I really did finish it!

Hats off to anyone else making good changes in their lives, no matter what they are. I really hope I can do it this time! Anyone have a favorite Naked Juice flavor??
