DIALING IN NUTRITION


If you're anything like me, you don't like being told what to do - you ignore even what you know is right when it's presented because you have this inate need to reach a realization for yourself - you refuse to act on it until you reach a point where you can no longer push it aside. And THAT - that's who I am.
When my trainer, my coaches, my roommate, my friends all told me about meal prepping, I was like yeah ok whatever. I'd rather do three workouts a day. I'd rather run extra miles. I'd rather...... just not eat. Is that ever gonna work? NO! You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it, but even with me knowing it, I tried to do things my way. I bought some meals to make it seem like I cared, to make it seem like I was trying, to paint an image that was not accurate.
After years of reaching 140lbs of weight loss, after years of getting ready for this new me, after going under the knife for the first of what will be 2 - maybe 3 surgeries - I plateaued. I couldn't get beyond where I had reached. This was the moment I knew I had to do what everyone told me I had to do. I had to stop screwing around and accept that 80% of weight loss that is geared upon diet & nutrition was something I was ignoring. I was either eating what I shouldn't or in some cases eating very little or not eating at all because I was too busy, too tired, too stressed, too scared of putting the weight back on. I thought I was the only one who dealt with this. I thought this was something ONLY I deal with.
So after much research, I came to The Clean & Colorful Kitchen. The company is local, fairly new, and when I wanted to dedicate myself to this and stop toying around I was able to count on the reccomendations of not one, not two, not even three - but SEVERAL of my November Project - SD tribe who all actually use CCK for their Meal Prep needs. Week 1 is now underway. And the order has already been placed for Week 2. The meals change every week. New menu items are constantly being developed and created. The food is healthy, delicious, looks good, clean ingrediens. The staff are accessible & available to answer your questions.
And what I really like is that they allow you to order what YOU want from the weekly menu selections. They allow you to order different amounts and such each week. They allow you to pause your order if needed. It works for me.
It's time to stop playing. It's time to break this plateau. I have my goals set & my expectations defined. I'm giving myself two months and I'm glad to have them on my side through this next step of my journey. Stay Tuned!!! Joalby... Is this 4.0 Now?
