To Starbucks, to theoffice, to visit an elderly grandparent, to the gym, to an extra-curricular activity, a meeting. Running running running. And yet, I always roll my eyes at those skinny girls who say, I just dont commence measure to eat Yah, WHATEVER Rome could be burning, and there I am, chomping away. In fact, I apprise count on one hand the number of meals Ive missed in myENTIRElifetime. If you ask my husband, hell attest to it No joke. I never miss a meal. So, how do you do it?With all the running and juggling, how do you make time for good healthy meals, and avoid skipping? Believe me, Im just as busy as the next person, but I alwaysmake time to eat. Im not saying I havent eaten a salad in my car on my way to a meeting, but Imake food a priority, as umbrageous as it sounds. For women juggling it all, food is in fact paramount to your success. And good food, may I add. Eating healthy with a busy lifestyle. You on the shut in with how to incorporatethis into your hecticlife? A few tips that suspensor me stay nutritious and energetic * I ALWAYS keep snacks on me.I have a nice mixed bag of nuts, and organic yogurt covered raisins in my glove compartment and/or purse at all times. It always comes in handy. This way, I dont binge on my next meal. Healthy snacking helps cutthe binging for sure, becauseeating alittle food every few hours stablilizesyour blood incision levels so your brain is much calmer when it sees your next meal * I have my Ericas To Do List notepad in the kitchen, and its visible atall times. Its my running list of whateverwere low on. The minute Im almost done a ketchup, for example, (which is bid every week), it goes on that list.Keep your healthy tweet on this list the minute youre low. Youre much more likely to always buy the good stuff if its staring at you on a piece of paper at the grocery store. * I try and stop eating be fore Im stuffed and gorged. My friends know, I never leave any food on my plate, EVER. Its been ingrained in my brain since Im little. My father grew up lacking many resources, so he always cleans his plate, as do it. But the right way to go, is to really stop before that full-feeling sets in. Portion manage baby * The same rule for my kids, applies to me. I aim for a protein, a carb, a vegetable and a fruit with every lunch and dinner.This has worked well for me. * If you confront a busy day, and foresee a McDonalds drive-through day (okay, its yummy), PLAN AHEAD. Make your lunch the night before. I was truly in the surpass shape of my life when I was working. Now thatIm at home,I snack all day, or eat whatever, whenever. When I packed myself a lunch for the office, it was a nice turkey sandwich, with hummus and carrots, celery and fennel (yes I LOVE fennel, and am theonly one in my family), a V8, and approximately pineapple. Nuts or cheese and crackers for snacks. in that res pect was portion control, and it was all energizing food.I felt and looked great. * When I look to buy new foods that I have never purchased before, I always read the ingredients. Remember, THE LONGER THE LIST, THE WORSE IT IS FOR YOU. The healthiest foods have simply one strawberries, broccoli, oranges catch my drift? The long lists contain MSG, sugar, salt, and more crap. * My advice, curb it or leave it if you can go organic on one or two things in your life, go for organic dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt), and meats and/or poultries. I do believe in buyingorganic for these two, even though somestudies saythere is no difference.I ama suckerhowever,for attractive muchallorganic lines of kids snacks (even though here, I highly doubt any realdifference exists). But for the other two I mentioned, I take them very seriously. I truly believe all the hormonal injections in our dairy and meats is whats giving us cancer, and our kids early puberty onset. There are also pesticides in fruits and vegetables, so if budget allows, I would suggest buying the organic stuff where you eat the skin (ex apples, strawberries, broccoli), and not necessarily thefruits and veggies like bananas and oranges, where you peel off the skin. * And finally, WATER.My water bottle comes with me many places. I fill it up along the way. Water is important. We know this already. Unfortunately, I was born with my dads skin, and not my moms, (which is creamy, milky and always blemish free), so I do my best to hydrate as much as possible to help with my skin. I really notice a difference in how Ilook and feelwhen I drink a ton of water. Yo, busy women rat any of you share some of your tips that keep you lean, healthy and energized? And thank you ladies for all your emails of concern. The grandfather is stable, and alive. So, its wedding weekend as usual for now. Until next time *
