A Good Rule: Only Eat When Calm

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you’re all enjoying your day! I’m here to share with you my daily eats from yesterday.

Monday

Monday morning was a little bit emotional for me, so I didn’t have much of an appetite. To put something in my stomach, I mixed a scoop of Protein Powder with water and had that.

I was following the rule of only eating when calm. I heard this on Hungry for Change and it’s stuck with me since. Food doesn’t make your emotions/troubles disappear. It only numbs them for a moment, and then you’re left with your emotions. What really helps is a good cry and someone to talk to. Thankful I had my Mom and my sweet Marco.

After that I took a nice, long, relaxing walk with my Mom.

When we got home I made us an all fruit & water smoothie using banana, mango, strawberries, and peaches. So yummy!

For a late lunch, I made Marco and I open faced turkey sandwiches on Ezekiel Bread

For dinner, my parents made awesome burgers! I skipped the cheese, added tons of veggies, and had a few multi-grain seed chips on the side with lots of salad 🙂

My Petite Treat was Fro-Yo with my aunts and cousins for Bachelor night. This was so fun 🙂 We went to Menchies, picked up frozen yogurt, went back to my cousins house, and all cuddled up on the couch watching the Bachelor. There was a glass of wine had too 🙂

These are the best ways to enjoy dessert <3

I hope you all have a great day! I will see you back here tomorrow with such a yummmmmmmy (and simple) sandwich that I made for lunch today.
