Hoping you enjoyed a wonderful week and the challenge wasn’t too, well for lack of a better work, challenging! I will say, getting a set routine for eating is helpful. It’s been a great way to truly pinpoint what I’m eating. Although following a set routine may seem to be boring, from my experience, there’s a sort of comfort in having set “go to” foods to eat regularly. It’s sort of like being on autopilot.  One of my  “go to” foods is plain greek yogurt.

Last week, I tried to omit greek yogurt entirely, not really sure why, but it seems I wanted to change things up. So, I didn’t include it in my eating plan all week. The valuable lesson I learned from this little experiment was that I missed not having it. Today I had a Fage Plain Greek Yogurt with a handful of blackberries and a packet of stevia! Talk about a filling meal! This 6-ounce container is packed with protein, 0 fat, 0 carbs, and low calories. The blackberries are in the category of “berries” that’s super trendy right now.  I just love all sorts of berries and am glad they are more available than ever. I guess the fact that they are trendy is a good thing.

The yogurt is so rich and creamy and pairs well with the tart and sweet blackberries

I did well on the list of items not to eat and/or drink, however, I was offered a glass of Single Malt Scotch over the weekend and I said yes. The funniest part of the story?  I only took two sips of the drink! I began to feel so sleepy that I dozed off and never finished it. Thank God I was in the comfort of my own home and just stumbled into my bed.

There were lots of “carby” snacks around at work, with all sorts of tempting things, bagels, pizza, pastries, crackers, and the list goes on.  I’m glad I was able to ward off the temptations and keep my eating focused on healthy, balanced choices.

My home has been under a renovation project that we’ve dreamt of for many years. We were not able to cook for a few weeks which meant being creative in what to buy that was healthy and tasty.  One evening we had Rotisserie Chicken with Grilled Asparagus, another night we had Baked Ham with an AMAZING Roasted Vegetable Mixture that included Red Onions, Red and Green Bell Peppers, and Eggplant.

At first, I was stressed out by not being able to cook and prepare our meals. To many of you, this might sound crazy, but I actually missed cooking! Throughout these weeks, I was very pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of healthy prepared food selections available in the local grocery store and eateries. I will share my healthy take-out experience in upcoming post.

I cannot truthfully that I was PERFECT,  but my goal is not perfection, it’s more about consistency and balance. Overall, I believe I had a good week and would love to hear about how things went with you!

Onto Week 2!

Be well!
