Day 23 - I Look Forward to Day 25, Yet I Fear It

This is what day 23 looks like, my friends.  Yes, day 23 in all of its quinoa salad glory.  I ate this. In fact, I ate this in my car.  Always on the run. Running children around to all of their sports and what not.  BUT, this might be the healthiest thing to date that I have eaten on the run. I have to say that it is very, very tasty.  It has sort of a fried rice texture about it, yet healthy, healthy and healthy...and healthy.  And tasty.  I added a little pinch of Parmesan to spice things up.

 

Tomorrow is day 24.  As much as I look very forward to days 25 and beyond, I also fear these days ahead.  I am super excited to eat things that are not always water soluble and possibly lick the super cheesy side of a Dorito...whenever I choose.  But, actually, my intention will be to continue challenging myself to stick to a healthy lifestyle. I have traveled to the dark side of the moon and back on this challenge and survived to talk about it.  I have come too far to go back to my old ways.  Say it after me...baaaaaaaaaaaalance.  I will practice true balance, my friends.  Healthy, healthy and healthy with a little side of whatever the healthy I want - now and again..  This is also known as the 85/15 rule.  I just made that percentage split up as my own (because I can't remember if it is 90/10 or 80/20).  So, 85% of the time, I am all about clean eating.  15% - I said it once, I will say it again...whatever I want.  Whatever. I. want.  I just need to remain calm and things should work out. 

Let's GO GET DAY 24!!!!! WAHOOOO!!!!!
