Sampler Platter of Whole FoodsA big adjustment for me is giving up the coffee/carb combo. I've been a big coffee drinker for as long as I can remember, and there's nothing more comforting that a cup of coffee and "a little something" to go with it. That little something has traditionally been refined carbs. As I have improved my eating, I have started to make better choices most of the time, but I'm realizing I need to make further improvements. Here's what I came up with today: two strips of turkey bacon, 3 strawberries, a few asparagus spears, grape tomatoes, and sugar snap peas. Beautiful, filling, and satisfying. And easy since all were prepared ahead of time and ready to pop on a plate. Yes, I would have enjoyed a scone, an english muffin, a few cookies, or even a Balance Bar...but we know where that choice leads. It leaves me feeling unsatisfied. Ungrounded. On edge. In search of more.

What a gorgeous looking plate. A reminder to me that if I take the time once a week to prepare fresh fruits/veggies ahead of time I eat a much less processed diet during the week. Thanks as always for sharing Pat.
