<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because we really don't have many plans and just hanging out, I have also gotten in some great workouts. But then there is always the issue, <span style="color: red;"><b>what do I eat when I am forced to go out to eat every day?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the hardest part. We do have a small kitchen and have gone to the store for veggies and fruit, but the challenge of finding healthy choices has been put upon me. Luckily, I am on the gulf coast so sea food has been a great choice. Lots of fresh fish to choose from and I am loving it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the challenge is still there and if you are heading out on vacation too, then I have some tips for you. If you find yourself in a similar situation and are wondering how to deal with the eating out problem, then I really hope this helps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ <span style="color: red;"><b>First, for a beverage, your best option is water. </b></span>This is something that you probably already do if you are trying to lose weight/get in shape, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I add in a lemon and not only does it add flavor but the acidity from the lemon helps break down fat so it won't store up in the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ <span style="color: red;"><b>Avoid "all you can eat" buffets. </b></span>You are on vacation and you are tempted to eat everything in sight, but be careful. Limit yourself before you are even tempted. Your eyes are always bigger than your appetite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ <span style="color: red;"><b>Check out the appetizers</b></span>. If you are worried about big restaurant portions, then look over the appetizer menu. Mexican restaurants are perfect for this because you usually have chips and salsa. So, eat something light for the main course. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ <span style="color: red;"><b>Keep your meal light by controlling calories, sugars and fat</b></span>. You can't control what they are doing in the kitchen or how they are cooking your meal but there are some ways you can have control. Ask for salad dressing on the side and add the amount you want. Add little butter or no butter to your meal. Avoid meals that may have heavy creams or gravy. Ask for grilled or steamed vegetables when you can substitute. Just because the meal comes with fries, doesn't mean you have to eat them. Ask for a substitute of veggies. It never hurts to ask!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~<span style="color: red;"><b> Just eat smart!</b></span> You can do it. I don't always eat smart and I won't claim to know how to do it, but you can take baby steps in this department. My favorite food has always been pizza. I love it! But since I have been flirting with fitness, I have learned how to eat it in moderation. I have become more educated about food and therefore now I only want good and clean food to enter my body. My health and future health is now my #1 priority and I want to be the best I can be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, remember it is ok to splurge now and then. Just be smart about it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is all about choices and making the effort to eat better is the same way. You have choices so try and do what you think is best. If you splurge, don't beat yourself up. Just try again at the next meal or try again the next day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>YOU</b></span> can do it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>YOU</b></span> can make the decision to change your life, your health and your future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

That is right! I am a flirt. I might smile too much. I might glance in the other direction. I might give that look of come and get me every now and again. <br />
It all started so innocently. I mean...I have always been active but did I consider myelf completely anamored by this thing that was getting my attention. <br />
No....I couldn't. No....I shouldn't. It would be a commitment. A complete change in the way I live. What would my dear, sweet husband think!@?<br />
<br />I just went for it. It started out slow. I flirted. I showed a casual interest. The feelings got stronger and soon I couldn't go a day without doing it, without feeling the rush.<br />
<br />
It had a hold on me. This thing I had so innocently flirted with was now.....dare I say, passion. <br />

It all started by joining a running group in my community. I decided I wanted to run a 5K and I needed that extra push to get my rear end out and running. So, I joined this group. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even got the tank top!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After running for a while and getting ready for my 5K, I also started a 90 day Crossfit challenge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am married to a man who loves Crossfit and I had flirted with it. I had done some of the work outs with him, but then I found this website. </div>

This is a website that has all Crossfit workouts and I decided to join in on the 90 day challenge. This is the moment that I went from flirting with fitness to an all out life changing, kind of love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I started the challenge, I knew I wanted to tone my belly, legs and to add more muscle to my arms. I did Crossfit during the day and also improved my diet. I started eating much cleaner. Fresh veggies, lots of fish and protein. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
54 days in, I was already seeing improvement and the goals I set were starting to come into sight. </div>
