I can see the path of a healthy lifestyle and a good diet. I’m not exactly on that path myself yet, but I can see it’s not very far away and I am walking pretty much right beside it. I’m encouraging myself to see how nice that healthy path looks, and it’s helping me make better choices every day.

Yesterday I had a pretty draining day at work (and had to come home to my recovering husband and my mother in law) and I was hungry and a bit cranky plus still had work to do. I REALLY wanted to stop at a bakery and pick up something sweet and creamy but I didn’t. I did decide to snack on the swiss chard I’d made on Sunday plus some leftover chicken soup, then relieved my MIL of sickbed duty and was able to smile and be nice to DH. Because of the large snack I had no problem having a small light supper later and the evening was a success instead of a carb-festival.

Breakfasts are getting back to routine - always one of my Key Success Factors. I’d like to make oatmeal again but I think that will have to wait for Friday.
