I hate to say it, but we’re not kids any more. <sigh>\u00a0 At least that’s true of our innards.\u00a0 We’ve known for years that there is a growing list of things we can no longer eat in terms of fast food.\u00a0 I love K-F-C Extra Krispy chicken!\u00a0 Every two years or so I hunt down one of their shops and get several chicken breasts and bring them home with coleslaw and a biscuit.\u00a0 Once I’ve eaten them, I know why I don’t do it regularly.\u00a0 My body just thinks it’s a bad idea nevermind what my tongue is saying.\u00a0 Gyros are on that list, too, and a lot of other things.<\/p>\n
We are also at the point where we COULD order one meal and share it.\u00a0 We both like the same things, and frequently when we have gone out to eat, I have thought, “I wish I’d ordered that…” when I hear what\u00a0 DH chooses.\u00a0 We could just as easily order two meals with the intent of taking half of each home with us, so we didn’t have to cook the next day either.<\/p>\n
I’m aware that we need to be eating “dinner” earlier in the day, and need to change my cooking habits.\u00a0 We also need more protein earlier in the day, which seems more difficult to accomplish.\u00a0 I’ve suggested to DH that we consider making our evening meal either vegetarian or soup.\u00a0\u00a0 We might want to swap the wok with the crockpot.<\/p>\n
Lots of choices to consider, decisions to make.\u00a0 Whatever we do we need to have more vegetables, and fewer carbs in our diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
