Happy Thursday! Today is the perfect day to take a break from sweeping, dusting, or doing any dishes. It’s National No Housework Day! Dirty windows? They will wait one more day. The vacuum can remain banished to the closet. And mopping? Well, tomorrow it’s a date.

The CK Daily – Eating Habits
Happy Thursday!
I hope all of you are having a fantastic week and being productive (unless your kids are on Spring Break and you are on vacation, then I hope you are finding time to relax…if that is possible. Haha!) It has been a pretty busy week here between the new website, starting a new month, and just balancing life. Of course, that is probably every day, every week.
Working out has always been my “go-to” stress-reliever and way to relax. It has been a great week with it. One thing I am working on starting this month is my eating habits. I can work out like crazy and do great but when it comes to eating healthy or even just eating right…I am not too disciplined with that. I don’t want to do something that is unattainable or something that I am going to get frustrated with and sabotage myself quickly. I am easing in by trying to eat a more balanced lunch and dinner, along with cutting out a good bit of my sweets. I found these awesome smaller dinners by Healthy Choice called Power Bowls. They have been amazing! Lots of flavor and a huge variety of types. They also are balanced with carbs and have a good bit of protein. I have been very surprised by them. I am hoping these help and I can stick with them. So, along with these, I am trying to eat more salads and veggies, which I really like anyway. I also came across an awesome recipe for no-bake energy bites. These have helped when I wanted something sweet but didn’t want to just sit down and eat a whole thing of chocolate chip cookies. I am sure eating right will help with working out and running too.
As with any habit change, I know it takes the right mindset and some determination. Knowing the long-term benefits of eating better and that this will help me achieve my goals has helped me stay in the right frame of mind.
If you have any good recipes or ideas for eating better and more healthy, please send them my way!
Have a great Thursday and rest of the week!
Jason
