Fighting For A Life Worth Living

Day 16-You Can't Keep Me Down

Today was a great day! It started when I made a menu for the week and I even added a few new dishes for us to try, such as garlic lemon and parmesan zucchini sticks and garlic parmesan salmon. FYI I LOVE GARLIC! So if a recipe says garlic, I am usually eager to try it. Both recipes are not in the menu until later in the week, don't fret I will let you know how I liked them as soon as I try them. In addition to making a menu I also went to the grocery store to buy all of the necessary items. Half of my cart was filled with a variety of fruits, veggies, and meats.
Thanks to pinterest I have a lot of new healthy snacks to try that actually sound appetizing. Today I indulged in a tortilla with a little nutella and a banana. All you do is spread Nutella on a tortilla, place a whole banana on it, wrap it up, and slice it into bite size pieces. I'll admit I wasn't fond of this snack at first, however the more bites I took the better it tasted. I could get used to it. Tomorrow I want to spread peanut butter on the tortilla and then slice up a banana and heat it on the stove top like a quesadilla.
Lastly, I didn't snack a lot today and when I did it was healthy. I have to admit, doing well feels really REALLY good. And to make that good feeling last, I bought a shadow box with a slit on top where I will make tiny notes of my accomplishments and then deposit them into the box. Seeing all the progress I have made should boost my motivation on the rainy days when it seems I can't do anything right. Great days like today give me hope that I can transform into a healthy lifestyle!
