Making Better Choices

20120711-003857.jpg

Thank the heavens for iced coffee and air conditioning. This heat wave is making it seem impossible for me to get anything done. I don’t want to eat healthy and exercise feels pretty foreign. All I want to do is enjoy a few margaritas and sit around in the sun. Not the best thing for my waist line.

Today I am starting fresh and am going to make better food choices and be more active. It really can be as simple as a healthy breakfast. Right now I’m not even eating breakfast. I feel like smacking myself on the head. Breakfast is super important and I know better then to set myself up for failure.

Hopefully by focusing on healthier food and being more active I won’t completely fall off the wagon. My portion sizes need to stay in check and I need to be more careful about the amount of sugar I’m eating. I don’t want to undue all the work and progress that I have made. From here on in I going to make better choices.

What helps you make better choices when the weather is ultra hot?

It’s Only 28 Degrees Outside So Let’s

Roast a chicken!

Somehow I managed to pick the hottest day that we have had to crank the oven up to 425 and roast away.

It all started with 2 fresh farmed chickens, olive oil and a little salt and pepper. This really could not be any simpler. Rinse your chickens, pat your chickens dry, cover with oil, seasonings and pop in the oven. Wait 90 ish minutes and enjoy!

* best served with roasted baby potatoes, fresh garden salad and any kind of fruity rum cocktail.

Winter Can Suck It

Yes,  I said it.  Winter can suck it, whatever “it” may be.  I have had enough cold, snow, freezing rain and black ice for one year.  My feet want to be in flip flops.  I am sick of wearing 7 layers of clothing before leaving the house.  Even worse is when you get all 7 layers of clothing on and the weather suddenly warms up so your layers are not needed.  40 below zero is a disgusting temperature.  I miss summer.  Please come back summer. I beg you to come back.
