Time To Get Healthier! Week 1 Mediterranean Diet

Week 1 Mediterranean diet that I am following is here and I want to share it with you. It’s time to make some big changes and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you.

Hey! So are you ready for this weekly post series? I sure am! This new post series is all about getting healthier and I am starting with the week 1 Mediterranean diet.

This is newly purposed journey started a few months ago when my bloodwork came back and it wasn’t ideal. I am currently seeing doctors for more definitive answers BUT from what I know right now… a consistent healthier diet is needed.

I have been cooking Mediterranean style dishes more this year but now I am going fully focused for 30 days. I have been scouring the internet and my cookbooks for a plan and I happened across this one from Eatingwell.com .

It’s a 30 day plan that centers around a 1,200 calorie day. Because of the things I am dealing with, my exercise routine will be low impact, hello water aerobics and somatic yoga.

If you would like to join me on this journey and reach healthier goals, I would love for you too! Make sure your doctor gives you the “ok”. I want the best for you and we need to make sure you are able to do this without concern.

Here we go! I will share this week and link the recipes. At anytime, just click the EatingWell.com link to read the whole article for prep tips.

NOTE: I may mix up the breakfast meals because I am slightly allergic to pineapple.
