i tried a new recipe tonight. apple turkey burgers. yes, apple. along with green onion, ground turkey and some different seasonings. and a special sauce made up of ketchup, chili sauce and apple jelly heated over the stove. sounds weird, right? they were surprisingly tasty.
even though i've been going to the gym fairly regularly for the past year and a half, i haven't always done so well with eating well. recently, i decided i wanted to try and start eating better, too. after all, you can only have so many chicken nuggets and pizza bites.. although, they are both delightful.. before feeling like you need a change.
so, this week, the grocery cart was full of good stuff. granola. yogurt. vegetables. chicken. pasta with enough protein in every serving to turn me into a body builder by the end of january (just kidding). and, i don't know if it's the additional work outs i've been doing lately (even if the running is about to kill me), or the healthier food (it can be good), or maybe it's the combination, but i just feel better. not that i wasn't feeling well before. it's just a little different now. doing good things, eating good things and feeling good because of it. a lightness inside and out.
today's lesson, then, is this.. put thought in, get light out.
