Cher's 71 years old and said she can do a 5 minute plank! Not even sure would be able to manage a 5 *second* plank?
Gotta keep eating my greens - wow!
Seem to have gotten into more of a routine with the healthy eating, so it's not taking nearly as much recipe research and planning before going to the store - that feels really good, to have it starting to feel like it's becoming more of a habit?
Used Kenji's Pollo a la Brasa with Green Sauce recipe from the Serious Eats site to make my taco, and it was my favourite meal to date - just removed the skin off the chicken, and used fat-free yogurt instead of sour cream and mayonnaise, and it tasted just as good as it did the last time ...
Guess the biggest challenge to eating healthy has maybe been eating out at restaurants on the weekend? My province just passed a law at the beginning of the year that requires restaurants to post labels on their menus - so it's hard not to notice that even the 'healthy' foods at a lot of places are packed with fat and calories
This restaurant is an Italian chain with fresh pasta - so guess if all the meals on their menu are unhealthy, might as well just got for the spaghetti and meatballs, amirite??
Pretty interesting to see how this restaurant doesn't even offer any healthy food choices - maybe sometimes it'll be impossible to eat healthy, when there's nothing available? The Bollywood star's trainer was saying that if we put effort into trying to stay healthy, then maybe it's okay to enjoy every once in a while. Not sure if gigantic plate of spaghetti and meatballs was quite what he had in mind
... but hopefully eating fatty carbs every once in a while isn't too horrible, if everything else is healthy the rest of the time? It's interesting, because it doesn't even taste as satisfying as it used to, after eating healthier for over a month now - just felt kind of stuffed and short of nutrients after eating about half the plate, so guess maybe my tastes have changed?
Tomorrow's a holiday - nice to have the day off
And then guess now that SCOOP is over, can also go back to my regular grind of playing The Deal
