No Side Dish?!

This is random, but today I had a tuna sandwich for lunch. Not that anyone cares about what I had for lunch, really, but there it is.

The weird thing, though, is that I have always thought there had to be a side dish with sandwiches, I have even eaten chips I do not enjoy because there weren't any veggies or fruits around for me to eat alongside my delicious sandwich. (Chips aren't my weakness, I do enjoy soda, but those 2 items are usually the easiest for me to give up when I am deciding to set certain treats aside).

Do you know what though? I am not stuffed, I am not still hungry, and I am totally satisfied with just having had that tuna sandwich for lunch. I have some sandwiches prepped for myself and hubby for quick grabs at lunch, and when I came home from working out and running errands today, I grabbed that tuna sandwich and enjoyed my grub. It did not have to be a 3 course meal, there did not need to be something sweat that followed it, a simple sandwich was enough to content me.

Who knew?!

On a separate note regarding sweets, did you know you don't need a bowl of popcorn and chocolate candy in order to enjoy a relaxing movie night on the couch? A boiled artichoke is actually less work to snack on (especially while dealing with braces!) XD

Semi-Quarantined and Semi-Healthy

We're now in July and just as it seemed our lives were working themselves back into normal, businesses were ordered to close up again (with the exception of outdoor seating and to-go options in restaurants), with no sight upon salons and the like being able to re-open.  Though life outside has continued to fluctuate, we have been able to continue with schedule adjustments and family time. Praise God we don't have outside commitments, besides church and hubby's work. We have been able to keep life pretty constant here and the ability to continue to fellowship and gather together at church has been such a blessing!  That being said, I am joyful in the ability to create consistency in my fitness and health regimen. Everything I have learned from several sources has given me the ability to continue in a downward weight trend and keep up healthy habits that support the goals I have for becoming healthier and stronger.  That's not to say that I haven't had a lot of strugg...

Plateaus

I would like to take a moment to talk about plateaus. Most of us begin to feel frustrated when we hit them (and we all hit them). I have decided to take the time to enjoy the maintenance aspect. I was initially taking a maintenance break, now I have began lowering my calorie intake again in order to lose. However, I am still maintaining, and that is okay. Here is why: I am healthy, I have no physical ailments that I cannot deal with which might be impeding on the norms of my life. I am strong, I can carry both of my 25# toddlers in my arms up 3 flights of stairs and into their bedroom (or down and into the car) without pausing several times up/down the steps; I can also carry all of my groceries from several stores up and down the stairs without being too winded to put them away after I bring them up. That is a sufficient amount of strength for my current employment ;) I enjoy my workouts! Many people dread the gym or have to force themselves to get their workout in because th...

So Much to Take On

There is an unspoken pressure in our society to have it all together and know how we want to contribute to the world. Here's a little secret: nobody has it all together and and it's actually quite challenging to know what you want out of life and how that life is going to contribute to the rest of the world. When did all the things  become something more than simple? Two of my favorite books that I plan to go back to this Fall are Grace Not Perfection and The Simplified Life  by Emily Ley. She breaks down what it is to truly make room in your life and home for the most important things. The funny part is, those things  aren't "things" at all, they are people. People, family, friends, relationships... those are the most important things  in life. So, when my work, my menu, my workout schedule, my chore list all get in the way of my kids, my husband, my family time, my fellowship at church, my friends... That is a problem.  When I was a kid and people a...
