What's In Your Lunchbox Today?

Yesterday, I took such a good lunch to my office, I have to share with you today.  I had fresh lettuce from the farmer's market.  On top of that, I had grilled eggplant and onions from my garden.  Organic chicken breast from the farm, marinated in my own garden's lemon thyme and fresh lemon - grilled on the Foreman....all topped with homemade citrus vinaigrette with a slice of artisinal bread from Eataly....it was yummy in the tummy, low fat and really nutritious!  A farm fresh peach made dessert later on the winner.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  preparing and taking wonderful lunches to work can help you lose weight (or maintain it), stay healthy and do wonders for your wallet.  Everyone should have lunches like mine every day!

Good Health is Like a Garden

This is a photo of my little herb garden.  When I dug out the space, I found rocks, sand, debris...you name it, it was there in the soil.  Not very hearty and healthy soil for planting, but I was convinced this little space had plenty of potential.  Partial sunlight, protection from trees and other wildly growning shrubs that also create a nice breeze when working in the space surrounded and protected the garden from too much sun.  The right type of plant food, a few fat juciy worms, some weeding, and loving care all have made a pretty crummy space on the planet into a nice herbal garden that has been yielding a bounty of wonderfully scented organic additions to each and every meal made this summer.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Your body is like a garden.  It needs good nutrition, exercise, an occassional weeding out of mental garbage, love and affection.  If you take all these factors seriously into your lifestyle, you too, will be beautiful (inside and outside), have vibrant enery and stand out in the crowd of poorly maintained bodies.  Get with the Wellness Program today and be healthy and beautiful!
