Day 1

Today marks the first of 30 challenging days.

The focus is simply to make good food choices.

Choices that will fuel my body and give it what it needs.

Breakfast 

I'm not much of a breakfast person, but I need to get on a 'three-meal-a-day' routine.

So, for my fabulous first day of healthiness, I started with some fresh berries, 2 eggs, and bacon.

I took the cooking opportunity to make some components for meals the rest of my week.

(I'll point out a breakfast short cut tomorrow)

Lunch

I ate breakfast a little late and had a few errands to run.

I felt really great about how my day was going... but then my tummy started to tell me I was hungry.

I had a moment of complete panic.

Oh no... I'm already wanting food... I'm not going to be able to do this.

Then I looked at the clock.

It was way past lunch time!!!!!

No wonder I was hungry.

I made a big salad with spinach, butter lettuce, and romaine (I like variety)

Sliced up half an avocado, crumbled up a piece of bacon cooked at breakfast, and sprinkled on a few kale chips for added crunch.

For protein, I sliced up some turkey.

Drizzled with a little olive oil and add a dash of pepper.

Dinner

I was not quite as panicky when dinner time rolled around.

Pork chops rubbed in olive oil and herbs de provence.

Green beans and sweet potatoes sauteed in a little bit of 

clarified butter (ghee), garlic, onion salt, and pepper.

Plenty for leftovers!

Leftovers are going to be my saving grace.

Sometimes, when I get home, I don't feel like cooking.

But, if it's already there waiting for me, I'm good to go!

Let's consider Day 1 a success.
