My definition of fast food! Throw it all in a blender and drink up!!

I felt like a spaz today running from one place to another, but that's every day so what's new. What I really want to talk to you about is making the choice to put your health first, even when you have no time.

 There was a time that instead of choosing to fuel my body with life giving, energy sustaining foods that supported my health goals,  I would pull through the closest fast food joint, and order a burger and fries, with a diet coke, or stop and pick up a pizza on the way home.

I felt like I had no other options, or truth be told I was just too tired to do anything else.

What I have found through my weight loss journey is that we all have to make a choice, and those decisions come with consequences; good or not so good. 
 
 We really are not victims in our lives; we are change makers. So if you want better health you have to choose better health, but you can't just stop there right?...

No time to make healthy meals

No time to meal plan

Going through the fast food place is easier

I don't get home until late

The kids have sports practice

These are all the reasons we give ourselves for letting the food we eat be poor in quality, and lacking necessary nutrients that will give us the optimal health we crave. When our body is getting what it needs, sugar cravings are a thing of the past and 3:00 crashes are no longer the norm. Instead we have amazing energy to keep up with the demands on our time and energy.

I weighed over 200 pounds. I was insecure and spent a fortune trying to get thin. I was running my kids around to sports practice and extra curricular activities that left me feeling like I had no other option than to stop and get drive thru fast food. I was feeding my kids cheeseburgers and fries, followed with a side of sugar a.k.a soda. Even getting a salad for myself and trying to be "healthy" wasn't eating optimally and I sure as heck wasn't feeding...
