Purging of the Snack Drawer

I thought it would be fun to share with you the 'before' and 'after' of my kitchen space! For me, making this commitment to change not only had to be with me working out, but changing the items that are around me throughout the day to tempt me into caving in. Have you ever noticed yourself eating something not because you're hungry and not even because your bored, but simply because it was there? Well, I have removed all possibilities of anything being there for me in any of the above cases.

Before

 We see that there is an abundance of sweet and salty arrangements. My largest temptation is the salty snacks. Jalapeño chips with spicy queso to dip in = to almost die for. But not only are these not good for me, but they also feed into the whole fixation of needing to insert hand in bag, grab handful, shove in mouth, chew...repeat. Say la vie once friends of mine.

AFTER

Welcome home fresh fruits, veggies, protein filled (thus hunger reducing) nuts. I mean, doesn't the brightness of the fruit look so delish? I tried the sugar free apple sauce and it wasn't my style but that doesn't mean my dog, Guinness, won't appreciate the healthy snack. 

I must admit that my husband will be awfully sad to discover that his jerky and chips are now being gorged by coworkers in my unhealthy trap of an office kitchen, but I think he'll be quite impressed to see these changes come into our home and give us energy to do more things around the house and basically put a permanent stop to the laziness pattern that often occurs in a comfy home.

Anyways, I'm off to the gym, so there's my little installment for the day...more to come very soon!

Love w/ all my bum,
