DAY 4 OF 365: CRAVINGS

So it's Day 4 and I am still having cravings. I guess this is what happens with an addiction when you go through detox. My body is wondering where the soda and fried food and sweets are and why they have been replaced with fruits, vegetables and this thing called water. I was on the PATH train this morning and I realized that it was pure laziness that got me to this point. I could have been working out at the gym this entire time but instead I opted to just go home and watch TV or go out and drink with friends. I could have been cooking healthier dinners and making healthy lunches to bring to work, but I went for what was easy and convenient instead of taking the time to actually prep and prepare the meals. It became all about convenience instead of health. I found that instead of walking outside of the office to get lunch, I ordered in and had it delivered. I would even go to sets to check in the background and would go to the craft service table to grab some candy or chips, rather then take the time to make a sandwich or a salad. I became lazy and allowed my body to do the same.
So instead of challenging myself, I have a challenge for my 11 followers. Pick out a healthy recipe that will not only be fun to make but will also be healthy and enjoyable. Take the time to enjoy your kitchen and make that amazing recipe come to life. What I have found is that if you make the process of cooking fun, you will want to keep doing it. The one reason that I love my new Condo is that I have a huge kitchen; something that I didn’t have in my apartment in Manhattan. Let’s make cooking fun again. It can even be fun if you invite friends over and allow them to partake in the fun of making dinner with you. Post the recipes that you make and let me know how they turned out. I will do the same. Let’s help each other cook healthy in 2011.


PS, I am still sore from my work out yesterday with JC. Recouping tonight so that I can hit the gym tomorrow for some cardio before my Saturday morning session. Off to bed. Looking forward to hearing your comments and also hearing about your recipe and adventures in the kitchen.
