New Healthy Lifestyle for the O'Daniel Family

So, it has been YEARS since I have posted anything on here, but my family is starting a new healthy lifestyle. I am going to post our progress and even our meals on the blog daily. I am open to new recipes and input, so please feel free to leave any comments. Shaylee's new love of fries has really opened my eyes to how much fast food and junk food that our family eats.Chance and I are doing the DynaMaxx Lifestyle Coach Challenge, today is our second day. So far, I am already feeling some energy that I don't usually have. The DynaMaxx Challenge has so far taught me that we are eating WAY too much processed foods and need to start eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. If you came to look at my freezer you would see a ton of processed meals in bag that I just have to throw in a skillet at night and be done. This is all going to change! To help me with this goal, I have bought the Skinny Bitch books that are all about eating non-processed foods and give recipes to help me through my new challenge. I've also made a commitment for my family to drink more water. Chance and I usually drink some kind of diet cokes and Shaylee will drink juice or milk. I think that all of this will be a huge challenge for us, but I know that we will make it through with the DynaMaxx coaching and also some meal planning and research on my part. Hopefully, Shaylee's new favorite foods will consist of fruits and not fries!! Today, our meals consisted or will consist of the following: (Shaylee had the stomach bug today so this morning she has only had crackers and will have Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch and dinner)

Breakfast:
Chance had Honey Nut Cheerios and I had some Fat-free vanilla yogurt with frest blueberries and a little bit of cinnamon. We also had our DynaMaxx Lights On.

Mid-Morning Snack:
Yogurt Raisins

Lunch:
I'm not sure what Chance is having, but I am going to have a mandarine spinach salad with a vinagarette dressing.

Mid-Afternoon Snack:
I am probably going to skip my snack today as I will be in a meeting.

Dinner:
Veggie stir fry with vegetables and brown rice.

Well, that is day 2 down! Shaylee and I will also be doing Wii Zumba for our exercise today! Can't wait!
