Healthy Balance :)

I wanted to keep moving after my last post so instead of taking a nap I made vegetarian chili! It was my first attempt and it was awesome!!! Heres what I used, if you actually wanna know how to make it leave a comment and I'll detail it out.


Today I got my run in, got my laundry done, spent some quality time learning to play NHL 13, finished nearly all of my Christmas shopping, and put together all of my food for tomorrow. I've realized that putting things together ahead of time, and cooking everything ahead of time, really is the best way to stay on track. I still have all the chili I made yesterday so I used it to make quick protein packed nachos today, easy! I also boiled a bunch of broccoli and corn on the cob for easy snacking and putting things together. There is now all of that ready in my fridge, along with fresh spinach for salads, 2 dozen organic brown eggs for protein rich quick breakfast making, and omega-3 silk soy milk. I may sound like a hippie but it makes me feel better, I sleep better, I function better, and I have tons of energy! After proof reading that sentence I'm very proud of the fact that it had nothing to do with "what it makes me look like". All of those things are so important to me and being able to lead the lifestyle I want to live. Being a healthy weight is just an added benefit, and being able to wear whatever is in style at the moment is awesome! I don't understand why it's always so "skinny" driven. Just be healthy, enjoy life, enjoy the things you love, indulge in moderation, and everything falls into place :)
