Dammit, Janet!

Okay, not really dammit.  Janet is the nutritionist at my doctor's office.  And in an effort to help me get back on track and be a little more accountable for my [food & exercise] actions, I've decided to pay Janet a visit [and of course, the entire time Rocky Horror is running through my head!]

But Janet offered some great advice:

1.  Eat a fruit and/or vegetable at every meal.
2.  Eat often.  Not eating enough during the day makes you crave heavy, fatty foods in the evening.
3.  Eating healthy takes planning.  Don't get caught out or fall into eating something just because you didn't have healthy options.
4.  There's nothing wrong with splurging.  Don't beat yourself up--just choose to eat healthier the next time.
5.  Keep track of what you're eating and when [yes, it's our hellthy habit of the week!].
6.  Work in a bit of exercise in a day--even if it's just walking the dog 15 more minutes.

So that's it.  That's what Janet wants me to work on--so I thought I'd share for your own travels.

~a bit of salt for your margarita [it's Sunday, after all, why don't splurge while planning your healthy meals for the week?]
