Goal for the Day: Eat Healthy

We’re all in a hurry most of the time. Cooking healthy meals can be time consuming and may take more effort than we might want to exert at the end of a long day. The temptation to take the easy path is pretty strong. We have a wealth of pre-prepared foods available to us. While these may be easier to prepare and faster to consume, are they the best things for us? No, probably not.


Unfortunately, we’re just as pressed for time on the weekends as we are during the week. However, today, try to make a point of eating something healthy. Instead of a snack of a candy bar or a cookie, grab an apple or some carrot sticks. Forego the take-out burgers and order a salad or a grilled chicken breast. Many restaurants offer healthier options which are just as flavorful as their greasier counterparts.

Introducing healthier elements into your diet will afford you more energy and will make your body run at its best capacity. You don’t have to do away with all of your favorite treats, but you may find that you like healthier foods just as much.

It is a question of getting used to doing it. Sometimes 20 min is enough to prepared a tasty meal: courgette + aubergine + carrots in a pot cooked with your favourite herbs and a little soy sauce. 20 min!!! You can eat it with bread, rice, meat etc etc :-)

That's true, Maura. All it takes is a change in mindset. But, sometimes that's easier said than done. Thanks for your comment!
