“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”
-Flora Whittemore

I’m starting my day with this quote because it reminds me that everything we do today is a choice. A door that we chose to open or to close. We all have obligations and things we thing we “have to do” but in all reality it boils down to our priorities. What we do today and the choices we make are based on what’s ultimately important to us. Even with the busy times of life, let’s not shut the door on taking care of ourselves. Let’s not skip the work out in lieu of marking another “to-do” off the list. Believe me, there will be another “to-do” ready to replace it quickly anyway!!

For me, eating right all week requires a trip to the grocery store and a little time in the kitchen today. It’s not my favorite activity but it feels good to be prepared and to have choices that allow me to eat well AND stay on track. My “to-do” list today for a week of healthy eating for me and my fam:
1). Make big pot of vegetable soup.
2.) Bake 2 loaves of Grace Bread….one sweet, cinnamon raisin and one savory, sun dried tomato, garlic and Italian seasoning. Pizza bread..YUM!
3.) Bake several tilapia fillets with taco seasoning to have on hand to make taco salads or put in a LaTorilla Factory tortilla.
4.) Peel bananas, put in freezer bags to use throughout the week in my Chocolate Smoothies. Time investment: About an hour. Return on investment: PRICELESS!!!!—–Have a great week!
