New 'Normal' to get ready for Blizzard

Posted by Unknown on February 08, 2013 1 comment
So, we are having a blizzard. Everyone panicks! I get worked up and nervous too. But I noticed something with the last few bad storms we have had since I started my Key program.

The food items I stock up on are are not my past normal survival foods, and my behaviors are different too!!!

Being stuck in the house used to mean, baking all kinds of stuff. I won't make a list, but I can tell you baking during a snow storm is FUN!!!

Being stuck in the house used to mean tons and tons of snacks!! Snacking while snowed in is fun!!

WAS FUN!!!!

Now I noticed, yes I still go to the store. Why? Well, I love to watch people. I Love to see what they are putting in their carriages to help them survive the storm.

But I noticed, my carriage is alot different from theirs.

I will still have milk in it, but no snacky things. No breads, no soda, no alcohol, no JUNK!!

hmmm, what has changed.

my whole food attitude has changed. Food is not an obssession with me anymore. I still like to eat, but all that food noise is quiet! So quiet, sometimes I have to really listen to know that I should eat.

I still get excited about some foods, I LOVE shrimp and lobster. I LOVE a good steak!! That can get my mouth watering.

By focusing on all the stuff I CAN eat, I pay no attention to the stuff I CAN NOT eat. I put them from my mind, and if they rear their ugle heads, I tap them away!!

I still LOVE being snowed in and it is still fun!!! I LOVE doing nothing, I love reading, spending time with my family, watching it snow, talking to my parents in Florida as I watch the snow and they tell me how hot it is!

But the food stress is gone! No more eating as much as I can to make the storm worthwhile.

I still prepare stuff ahead of time, but it is Key friendly, not poison!

Stay safe everyone! Enjoy your time snowed in!! But most of all, enjoy yourselves in a healthy new way!! A KEY way!!!

    Yes - more lifestyle changes! There are so many things that have changed in our lives because of losing weight.

    I too noticed the difference between what was in my cart from others. I was bummed that there was NO ground beef on the shelves last night. I took it as a message for me to switch out my menu plan. I have been making the same recipes over and over.

    Like you, this journey continues to amaze me as I discover more and more ways of how my life has changed. I'm working on a blog post along this thought and will likely post it in the morning.
