Easter is over. Now if I can resist the chocolates and jelly beans for the next few days, I will be home free. Well, at least for a little while. I mean, there are no more holidays to throw me off my plan, right? If it were that easy.
We are very lucky here to have wonderful April weather, long days and plenty of reasons to celebrate life. Seems like a rough life doesn't it? Children playing, birds chirping, plants and flowers in bloom. But with that comes temptation to drink more beer, have another hamburger from the grill...whatever. My point is, no matter what, there is a reason to overeat or drink. But we should do this. Life is a great thing to celebrate.
For me and I am sure many others, weekends are usually a time to plan fun things and that means food and drink. Easter weekend is of course no different. It is a battle between enjoying it all and showing a little discipline. For me, just a small adjustment can pay huge dividends. For example, we went grocery shopping yesterday and planned to have steak, salad, corn and quinoa. Quinoa? Two months ago this final menu item would never been served or taken seriously. Now I am not saying I need some award for eating salad, corn, beef and quinoa but it is a positive step. Recall that my dream job would be a food critic, eating everything and everywhere. Just a wonderful fantasy. So, eating quinoa is a healthy addition and a baby step into adding healthy foods into a space where a bread or rice would have been. Yay me.
My motto is "if you play, you pay." My pay lately and going forward is my Koko routine. I just passed the million lb. mark yesterday. I guess that makes me a Koko millionaire. Makes me feel like celebrating.
