Today’s BetterU Blog post is from Danielle Perry!
What a difference 3 weeks can make… After having “The Scan” I’ve been eating better and making MUCH healthier choices. Multiple times over the past 3 weeks I have been at Gold’s gym at 5:30am taking classes. (Who am I??) I even made zucchini tots!! I don’t cook. I have never cooked a zucchini. I have definitely never shredded a zucchini.

After our nutrition class I bought the Cabot cheese that Roufia mentioned and shredded it by hand. (Turns out there is wood pulp and fillers in shredded cheese to make it not stick together and not get moldy… so shred your own.) And I actually read the ingredients on the bread crumbs and had to put back two different versions before I found one that didn’t have a ton of additives in it. All of these things are first for me. After eating the awesome zucchini tots I ordered one of those things that shreds veggies into noodles and I am surprisingly excited to use it!!
I did have a slip up on Saturday at a birthday party. I ate an entire gram cracker batter waffle with deep fried mascarpone stuffed strawberries and whip crème. I am not going to lie.. It was glorious! HOWEVER, since I have had minimal sugar and not a ton of carbs in the past 3 weeks my body immediately hated me and it made me deathly ill. As good as it may have tasted, it was definitely not worth it.
I have a bag of clothes ready to donate that I had resigned to never be able to wear again, well before finally dropping them off I tried a favorite pair on that I previously could barely get over my hips and there was NO way they would zip… I was able to WEAR THEM Sunday!! And I owe it all to BetterU and AHA and the amazing training I am getting at Gold’s Gym. #GoRedHV #HVBetterU
