Day . . . I have no idea!

Unfortunately, things have not slowed down and I'm as busy as ever.

Sunday afternoon, as I was rushing around to get 5 things done at one time, I thought, just for a second, how easy it would be to just grab a large fry and gravy bread while on the go. I was just so frustrated about the fact that I just so frustrated by the fact that I simply didn't have enough time to do all the things I needed to do . . . especially eat well.

Then, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and had a moment of clarity. In reality, this new lifestyle has answered this problem. I'm learning exactly how to make quick and easy snacks and meals that are 100% healthy. That's one of the main perks! Sure, there are the more detailed and time consuming meals I can make when I have the time. But, I can also just grab a bag of nuts, or eat an apple, a quick salad or a smoothie an be satiated.

And that's just what I've done the last few days. No matter what, I'm never giving up my juice. So, I've had my fresh glass of juice in the morning. Throughout the rest of the day, I've eaten granola, fresh fruit, nuts and dried fruit, salads and whatever left over pates I've had in the fridge.

It's usually these types of situations where I've treated my body the worst, stuffing it with whatever is the easiest to grab. These were inevitably foods that would fill me up and slow me down and distract me with the guilt I felt for eating it in the first place.

This time, I'm still really busy. But, at least, in the back of my head, I know that I'm still taking good care of myself, which is probably source of the extra energy I need to keep going.
