Finding the Right Balance for You...

Everybody's different especially in terms of what they like to eat...

But what you like to eat and what is the best thing for you to eat may be two different things...

This shopping basket shows the right balance for me....

Lots of vegetables...

Some fruits, nuts and berries....

A pre-cooked lean protein (Jennie-O Cajun Turkey)...

A fat protein (Jimmy Dean Hot Pork Sausage)....

And lots of Foglifter coffee - Yay!!

The key is consistency....

Find a variety and balance of healthy ingredients that you can rotate through...

It's the ON - OFF....

One day you're Hot...

One day you're Cold...

Dieting and exercise cycle

That messes you up!

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know

And you over think
Always speak
Cryptically

I should know
That you're no good for me

[CHORUS]
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now you're plain boring

I should know that
You're not gonna change

[CHORUS]

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

[CHORUS 2:]
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down...

So for lunch, I sliced and seasoned a summer squash, a red bell pepper and a jalapeño pepper....

As a bed for a couple of spoons of the spaghetti sauce I made yesterday.

I added a couple of slices of the turkey and a boiled egg for some extra protein.

This was delicious, was a large volume of food, but didn't leave me feeling all blown up like a regular spaghetti dinner. 

Find your balance....

And then be consistent.
