Healthy attitude

Being healthy is only as good as our attitude about things. Yeah, we can follow a diet, or even have a personal trainer, but it's when we decide for ourselves to change our attitude when things start getting really healthy. :) no one can change you...you're the one held accountable. Figure it out and go for it :)

Just sharing

I have not been able to make my "Breakfast Things" in a few weeks...so I've been having to be creative with breakfast. While I'm not really "dieting" right now, I tend to feel better when I eat better things. 

It's lunch time now at work and I'd like to give some info on my day of food to hopefully encourage those of you who want to eat right. Keep in mind I'm not perfect...I'm just sharing with you :)

Breakfast:

☕Coffee and creamer

🚙Nature valley peanut butter protein bar

🐓Hard boiled egg

Snack:

🍌Banana

🍐Mixed fruit cup

Lunch:

🍟Veggie straws

🍃Salad with almonds and chicken (chick fil a sauce for dressing :)

No matter where you are...the sun never stop shining no matter how many cloud block your sight of it. The same is true about God, He is there, He's always been there even if sometimes you feel like you can't see Him. ⛅

Being Healthy

I think that this new healthy thing that we are reading about and seeing commercials for and reading things on Facebook has a lot to do with our mental health. How we view ourselves, how we view others, and how we view life in general.

Being healthy is a huge need in our culture today. We can eat all the healthy foods and use the best vitamins, but if our mentality isn't healthy we are still susceptible to being depressed and unhealthy. Just like the way Christians live their lives, it's starts with the heart. What does our heart want and desire, what does it see in things, how do we feel. Feelings can have a tendency to lead us astray and overpower us, but they are also a part of our being, they are going to happen and they can be good. Once again, I believe this has a lot to do with our mental state and our heart.

So today, whatever is going on, whatever you are eating or whoever you are coming in contact with, think about your healthy mentality and your healthy heart. Other things tend to go a whole lot better when we decide in our core how we are going to be.

God bless

Hey followers!! I had soup today...and I wanted to let you know about this awesome soup bowl from Tupperware! It's a part of their Vent-and-Serve line. 

It's the perfect size and it can handle the heat ;) you just dump you can of soup in, put on the lid and pop the little top to let it vent and heat it up :) it's easy! 

I was bringing mugs with me to heat up my soup but they weren't big enough and it didn't hear evenly. 

If you are interested I can help you contact my Tupperware Lady :)

Have a great day!!! It's beautiful here!!! :)

Loving food

It's no surprise at my love for food. I am Italian and a girl.

But sometimes I forget this fact because I get caught up with coffee and chocolate. Yesterday as I reached for the cookies it was almost like I could feel my body saying "but we want veggies!" Then the power went out and     I   HAD   NO   CHOICE...the cookies won! Haha. 

Today, I'm trying to remember my love for food. Eggs are full of good protein and they are clean. Cheese is also a good protein in the dairy group. And multi-grain bread gives me both the carbs I desire and the grains for healthy digestion and energy. 

I love this breakfast! It gets me set up for a good day :) and coupled with fruit, it is sure to be a productive day :) 

Hope this encourages you today to love food and use it properly. Listen to your body :) [I'll be having veggies for lunch haha]

Lunch

Loving me some veggie straws!!

Costco has a big bag that now has sweet potato! They are my comfort food right now that I don't feel so bad about. They don't by any means replace my veggies though! 

I also am using fruit & veggie twists with KALE (which I love)...

And for later I have a V8 Fusion and a peach fruit cup! 

Pretty much all these are from Costco! Haha ADVERTIZEMENT! ;)

I pack myself as many fruits, veggies and proteins as I can...that way that's all I have to eat! I don't pack chocolate or chips...if I don't bring them, then I can't eat them. It's important to learn the part of "you" and how you can encourage yourself to eat better throughout the day. If you work, it's a great opportunity to set yourself up for success! :)

Hope that my lunches encourage you!! :)
