I mean, just this morning, I burnt my tongue on the way to work because I couldn't pace myself and took a giant gulp of tea. I've done this a million times, but I never learn. In the moment. I. want. the. tea.
So, My New Life is really testing my patience. Like, I want to be fit and trim and healthy now! But as I told a friend last week, “all I can do is trust the process and keep going."
And you know what, I feel pretty good about it. I'm working at being more organized and better prepared so I have good choices on hand when I need a snack or a quick meal.
Weekends are spent grocery shopping and veggie chopping. It really does make My New Life easier.
Pretty work-day snacks all in a row.
You know what else? For the first time, I get what people are talking about when they say healthy food taste good. I know, weird, right? Honest to G, I've stopped eating junk and now when I have a radish or blackberry, I taste the flavor and savor the texture and am grateful for what it's doing to nourish my bod and give me strength and stamina.
So, the hubs and I have been trying out some new recipes and here's one I made over the weekend, Healthy Mexican Casserole. I added about 1/2 lb taco meat and switched out the refried beans for black beans. It's as beautiful as it is tasty. And when two are tangoing, it's even kinda fun to chop, pop and casserole.
Black beans, corn, peppers onions and sauce for the win!
What do you do over the weekends to get ready for the work week. Got any tips for the organizationally challenged?
Rawr.
