I know I've been a serious slacker on here. Someone emailed me on My Fitness Pal asking me where I've been. So sorry! :) Guess those Dog Days/Lazy Days of Summer have gotten to me. Though I'm not exactly lazy. Besides working full-time, taking care of my two boys and working out, I move my bod a lot! haha!
I've been using my glasses more especially at work when I have to read a lot of small print and also using the computer. I have to say, it feels good! My eyes don't feel as tired at the end of the day as they once did. So, as much as I was moaning about it, it is a good thing in the end.
My weekend was good. I worked through Saturday and then saw We're The Millers with my friend on Saturday night. It was a good laugh! I needed it! Sunday was about working out and getting a few errands done. And then relaxing until my boys came home at 5:30. I always make the best of my time to myself but my home is too quiet and to empty and it just doesn't feel normal. As soon as they return I say "All is right with the world!" :)
And yesterday was another court date to deal with things with my ex-husband. I hope it's all resolved for awhile now. I always say I could write a book about my life. It's rather TV movie of the week. It's mostly about finances but some other things too. I certainly hope nothing further happens. I don't think any of us have time for this constant nonsense.
I am reading recipes and planning my meals more. I just get tired of the lunches I have at work and want to make them and bring them more. The same applies to quick, healthy breakfasts. I want something I can easily grab on the go as my work-week can be somewhat hectic. They say breakfast cereals are one of the worst things you can eat. Most of them anyway. I eat a lot of greek yogurt, bananas, etc. but just feel rather ho-hum about it all. Sometimes I have an almond butter and banana sandwich. These look delicious! Gluten-Free too! Turkey Sausage, broccoli and egg muffins . You can really do any variation of that egg muffin. Meatless, include more veggies, herbs, etc. So easy and yummy! These look awesome too. Healthy Cherry Vanilla Almond Breakfast Cookies That website, The Skinny Fork looks awesome in general. Lots of great recipes. And of course smoothies are always a quick and easy way to get lots of good stuff in your body in the morning. If you have certain things on hand and can throw into a blender, the habit of starting the day healthy will be much easier! :)
For lunch, hmm....besides salads and sandwiches. I need to cook dishes on Sunday that freeze well. The Fall is easier for that as sauces, soups, chilis, stews all freeze pretty well. Though other dishes can. Or just making ahead, not necessarily freezing. I am a foodie and just love food! Flavors, colors, smells, etc. I did punch in "Fast healthy lunches" on Pinterest and got a slew of ideas. We will see!! I like the idea of little bento boxes too. For both my boys and myself. Little bit of this, little bit of that to snack on. Fun too! I think we're going school shopping this weekend. That time is upon us already!! Yikes. Need to pick out lunch boxes, new backpacks school supplies, yada yada!
If you want a quick cleanse to just give you a little pep in your step and make you feel cleansed and detoxed.....try this one. It doesn't take long and really can make a difference in how you feel. It can sort of jump start a cleaner way of eating as well.
It's so funny, when I have a splurge day and had a great workout, I end up craving roast chicken, veggies, sweet potatoes..more than junk. And the treats just don't hit the spot as much anymore. I will have something and think "Mehhh, that was OK!" When your body is used to eating a certain way, it craves THOSE things. And you feel so much better when you eat it.
Welp, I need to get up and around and head to work! Have a great day!!
