Is it just me or has this year flown by? I can believe that in less than 65 days, this year will come to an end and a new year will begin. Clearly, I am not where I expected to be with this challenge. My body is not nearly where it needs to be for the photo and my life is not quite as "healthy" as I would want it to be. There have been a lot of factors that have contributed to this but the main culprits are these last couple of months with the crazy hours and my job treating me like a 24/7 bodega. Not to mention the sleepless nights full of anxiety of what the next workday will bring. But, I take it in stride and realize that I still have 62 days to get back on track and prove that a healthier fitter me can still finish first in this challenge. I am meeting with JC again tomorrow morning for what I foresee to be another intense workout. But you know what, bring it! I am ready for it. I am starting to dig myself out of this mini depression and I am clawing my way out to the life that I want. A friend just told me that we have plans Monday night and my first instinct was, wait, I can't because of work. You know what? Wrong response Dave. Instead, I am going to have my assistants cover for me Monday night, and I am going to have a great night and actually have a life. You know, the thing that I am clearly missing. Like I mentioned last night, part of a healthy life style is actually having a life. Enjoying the company of friends and family and enjoying the fruits of working so hard. So my healthier fitter ass will be out having a great evening Monday night. So I leave you with this little healthy snack that I whip up when I am looking for something light and sweet.
Baked Fruit
1 cup of mixed berries. I tend to use the frozen dole fruit. I thaw them out and mix them with 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and some sprigs of mint. I mix them up and place them in a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, give or take, in a 350 degree oven. The perfect light and sweet dessert. If you want to get really adventurous, get some fat free frozen yogurt and spoon the berries over a scoop of it. Yum!
Well, I am off to bed. Tired and I want to be well rested for my session with JC. Till tomorrow.
