From the very beginning of this journey I committed to doing this slowly so that the changes I make become part of my life style. The other day someone asked me what am I finding to be the most difficult part of these changes. Without thinking I said eating. I still struggle with dinner ideas to please everyone and I am not preparing my lunches as I had planned. My struggle is not making healthy food choices more with seeing meals as a chore!
Today I've been thinking about this and how am I going to solve this problem? My solution; to get my daughters involved in planning our meals for next week. Troy is so easy going, he will eat anything I make - even if it does not taste great! He's usually the chief in the house and I don't think he wants to discourage me from cooking when I do.
So, on Saturday afternoon, hopefully by the pool, I plan to get out the lap top and plan out our week as a team. I have a few sources picked out. One is http://www.skinnytaste.com/, recommended by Stacey one of our clients at Create Balance. The other is Looneyspoons, from the sister team Janet & Greta who take everyday favourites and make them healthier. This will get us started - I would love to hear of any other great sources out there for family friendly healthy recipes!
There is more to being healthy than eating well and exercising. My goals are to Nourish, Empower and Strengthen
