Second day at the office was quiet but filled with a lot of information. Once I came in, I began to work on one of the project that was discussed yesterday. I started to work on revising and updating the old dining out menu ideas and did some research into new places. I was trying to find dishes and meals that were healthy and watchful of calorie intake. Most of the meals I found were protein heavy and paired with a salad or another healthy option such as mixed vegetables or fruit. While looking for the different options, I had to mindful of how much carbohydrates, protein, fat, and sodium that was contained. The task was fun and interesting, because I didn’t realize how many of the things that eat were actually quite unhealthy!
After lunch I went over how to make a meal plan with Katie. It was really cool and fascinating how they are created. It made so much sense and was so confusing at the same time. I loved it! I have seen a nutritionist in the past and being able to see what they do behind the scenes of appointments is very fascinating. Katie and I also talked about gut health and how nutrients and minerals play a big role in weight management and weight loss. I would’ve never thought that so many things can contribute to our body’s metabolism. I addition to our bodies, I learned some good life lessons, like it is good to delay gratification and be patient. Change won’t happen over night and be very eager won’t help your progress, both in weight loss and other life occurrences.
