(note: this is a copy of a post I put on my personal blog...I realize that as we are getting into the forever fit mindset sometimes food is--and needs to be--uppermost in our minds but recently I have found that altering my focus or getting perspective on life...very healthy.) thanks for stopping by the blog...Kathleen
Today I passed a US Food Service truck...
On the side...big letters for all to read:
"Enjoy life...eat out more often."
Hello...this is a problem.
People eating out often means:
1. Too many calories consumed.
2. Eating who knows what...(hidden ingredients).
3. Too much money spent on food
4. Appeasing the ever popular need for quick easy pleasure.
I say: "Enjoy life...
1. Accomplish something really hard..something you have to work a long time for.
2. Spend time with the people that mean the most to you.
3. Experience the beauties of the world that we live in.
4. Smell a flower.
5. Hold a baby.
6. Sing a song (as loud as you want to).
7. Save your money and pay CASH for something you want.
8. Share something you are good at with anyone interested.
9. Change your sheets on your bed, take a bath...go to bed and sleep in 'til you wake up unassisted
10. Go ride a roller coaster with a 12 year old...scream while you are riding.
11. Sit in the sun and read a book.
12. Do something unexpected for someone else.
13. Scroll through the pictures saved on your computer.
14. Reminisce with your kids about pranks you used to pull on your old teachers.
15. Laugh out loud.
Look beyond the food.
(there's a whole lot more out there, promise:)
