Monday! The incredible journey continues..

If only it were as easy to shed pounds as it is to gain them. How many times has this been spoken?? Maybe a million? Well on the same train of thought, it's so much easier to eat fat, calorie laden food than it is to make healthier choices. Unhealthy eating requires absolutely no thought--see it-want it? go ahead eat it!! A healthy lifestyle requires forethought. What will I eat? What is the best way to prepare it? How can I make it most healthy? I get SICK of thinking about food ALL THE TIME! I think this has a lot to do with the fact I cook for a living and often, but not always, cook at home! I can feel food obsessed. However, the reward of a healthy lifestyle has resulted in some weight loss. I simply feel better and have more energy-even in the sweltering heat of summer in the kitchen all day! Amazingly,I don't crave fatty or sweet food either. Tonight's menu includes whole wheat pasta, chicken and broccoli! Bill is the chef tonight--so for now I am not thinking about food-just waiting to EAT some!!
