Time for the BIG test

Having the next 3 days off work will be the true test! This is the time I always find myself with too much time on my hands and end up in the kitchen making poor choices! I'm trying to plan out my meals this morning then heading to grocery store while I still have the right mind set. I usually end up hungry while there and buy all the wrong foods! Today I will be strong and if it is not purchased it will not be as easy to just grab and eat. I am also going to try and just keep myself as busy as possible!! I'm tired from work, I'm sore from work and I want nothing more than to veg out in front of the tv but if I keep moving it isn't as hard as stopping and having to start moving again. Keep moving! 

Boredom is one of my biggest challenges so I try to keep as busy as possible - if I'm on the go I tend to make better choices as long as I make sure to keep my pantry stocked with healthy choices

Same thing with me! If it isn't in the house then I can TRY to talk myself out of going out and getting the bad food. Having in the kitchen is just too much of a temptation. And No One needs it so why buy it! 

Unfortunately for me, my husband and son are super picky eaters and tend to skew more unhealthy than healthy (I joke that my husband has the dietary desires of your average 10 year old....pizza, hot dogs, mac n cheese).....which makes keeping junk out of the house extra challenging 

Oh boy that is a hard one! I'm lucky enough that if left up to my husband he would live on vegetables!! Our hardest part is deciding what to cook for dinner. If we are both too unsure we give up and go with take out!! NOT healthy take out typically either :( I recently found someone on IG I follow who eats low carb and eats fast food often. She shows what to order from different places so that your meal is low carb. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it isn't healthy often, but it is at least low carb options for now! 

I WISH my husband would eat vegetables!  He thinks they're nasty and I have to twist his arm to get him to eat them.  I love vegetables, but hate making big complicated healthy meals for just myself.   My son is ASD and has texture issues, he will at least try things but is usually unhappy about it.   I actually just ordered an Instant Pot because the easier it is to make healthy stuff, the more likely it will be that I'll take the time to cook it and won't just go with the easy solution like pizza or mac n cheese!

I use my George Foreman grill almost daily! It is fast and easy to grill up some burgers for my husband and myself. I have mine without bun/bread just add some cheese, a pickle, mustard whatever else I have on hand and like while he can put his on a bun if he chooses. He seems happy and I ate a high protein no carb lunch. I have not heard of the instant pot, I will have to look it up! If it is like the crock pot I will love it! If I had to cook my family a different meal  than  I was having I would have to make it a quick grab and go type meal as well. Eggs made any way are usually pretty easy, but I get tired of egg's very quickly :/
