Thank you Rissa for your words of encouragement and support! You are a great friend, and I appreciate it!
Day 4 was my first day at work since I started this blog. The focus from this Best health journey carried over into the work day and made yesterday a speedy and productive day. I had a lot of energy and was able to keep on task. Packing lunch for work is something new that I started a few weeks ago. It has been great for a few reasons:
1. Saves a TON of money.
2. Keeps me from choosing unhealthy options when I'm starving at work.
3. Gives me more time to work out, because I don't have to leave my desk to buy food.
This leads in to food planning. The more that I have my meals planned out ahead of time, the easier it is to make the right food choices. If you are starving, it is not the right time to be choosing foods or creating a meal plan. :O) Our family sits down every Saturday morning and plans out our dinners. From the dinner plan I choose lunch leftover days. I'll plan out breakfast at the same time, and then make the grocery list. Steel Cut Oats take 30 minutes to cook, so if I make a large batch Sunday morning, I can eat them during the week.
Everyone have a WONDERFUL day! Take care and Thank you for your support!
