French Toast with Peaches

As promised as picture of this morning's breakfast adventure.  As the G.I. Diet doesn't allow syrup, I topped mine with sugar free raspberry jam.

The Game Plan

I can't say that I have tried every diet out there but I have done my research on them and I know that it really comes down to eating the right things for the science of your body and getting your butt off the couch and making it move.  On that note;

A new diet:
The G.i. Diet, Revised: The Green-light Way to Permanent Weight Loss: Revised and Updated
By Rick Gallop

I will try it for a month.  I will do my best to stick to it and hopefully it really is as easy as they say it is. 

Excercise:

I cancelled my membership at Goodlife yesterday.  I liked the gym enough, I went often (ish), but man was it expensive.  Krysta and Steph took me as a guest to a City Recreation Centre on Sunday and I fell in love.  Not only do I enjoy the price a whole lot more, but I like the atmosphere.  They have an indoor track which I hope will keep me motivated and moving.  If I am going to run 21.1km I am going to have to keep moving.   

I have my membership with Goodlife until February 25th and before then I am hoping to take some of my favourite classes once more. 

Today's classes: 5:30pm Body Combat 6:30pm Body Attack

Lifestyle:

I wasn't up as early this morning as I wanted to be, but one of my goals is to be able to get up early enough in the morning to make a good breakfast and relax. 

I did have time for my breakfast this morning and so I tried something new. 

French Toast with Peaches

Ingredients

Serves 1

2 slices of whole wheat bread

2 egg whites

1/8 cup of skim milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

canned peaches in fruit juice

1.  Cut the bread into 3/4 inch slices (if it isn't already) and remove the crust.

2. Mix all ingredients except the peaches in a bowl and whisk with a fork.  Dip the bread into the mixture and gently soak both sides, the mixture should be almost gone after dipping both pieces.

3.  Place bread in a hot non-stick pan for 3 minutes on each side and serve with peaches.

A SUCCESS! 

I will post a picture soon.  Having phone issues and that is my camera at the moment.

Happy health!

As I once again embark on another (yes, one more time) weight loss journey, I found myself questioning why I hadn't been able to stay motivated in the past.  Was I lazy? No.  Was I too busy?  No.  Did I not have the proper tools to accomplish my goal?  No.  Did I have something to keep me motivated?  Something to be responsible to? No.  Hmmm...

In the past I had given myself a goal date:

Skinny by...Christmas

Skinny by...Cancun

Skinny by...Summer

These all worked for a while but ultimately I would get to the goal and then fall of the wagon as a reward for my accomplishment.  By taking away the goal do I take away the wagon?

The is the hope of this blog is that by committing to something that isn't ending, my healthy journey won't end. 

So now you may be wondering how blogging about my healthy journey is going to help and what could I possibly talk about.  I don't blame you.  I am wondering the same thing.  

I hope to encourage me (and maybe even you) to keep things fresh and interesting.  I vow to branch out and keep exercise interesting.  I promise to try new things and be the guinea pig.

There is no road map on my journey and there is no end date.  There is only a goal, to be a healthier person.

Cheers (with lemon water) to health!
