Happy April my friends
Did you know that APRIL is National Food Month!, and one thing I know to be true is every one of us loves food.
In honor of NAtional Food Month, we will be talking food every week this month in our workshops, and this week we kick off with "Recipe Renovation". You get the floor to swap, share and brag on the recipes that you have lowered the points on, so that this family favorite of yours still makes it to the dinner table, and everyone is happy.
We all know that if the foods and also baked goods we eat excite us, then we have more chance of staying on program for long term.
So what's your most favorite meal?
What swaps have you made that lowered the points for your recipe?
A little Debbie tip 💡, instead of using oil in a stirfry, I use rice wine vinegar. Also grilling instead of frying anything saves points, and when I am looking for ideas, I will search by either the cooking method or the protein in our WW app.
How do you find new, exciting and different ways to make mealtime a happy event?
This is our subject lineup for the rest of the month, and it's all about food:
Restaurant Roadmap (Dining Out): From drive-thrus to certain cuisines to local restaurants, brainstorm strategies to make the most of dining out while staying on track.
Incredible Edibles (Make the Most of your Budget): How to lean on Zero Point Foods to balance higher Points favorites while staying consistent with our goals.
Add to Cart (Make Grocery Shopping Easier): Share your favorite Budget friendly food finds and where you get them so we can help each other make grocery shopping a little more exciting.
Mealtime Makeover (Make Healthy Eating Special): Take inspiration from favorite restaurants to strategize how to make healthy eating at home feel special. It's not just about the candles!!
Did you reach a goal you set for the 1st quarter?
If you did, what's the next goal?
If not what needs to be done?
It's been a long wet miserable year so far, and I really do believe the weather can have a big impact on our moods and feelings, food choices, energy levels and even self compassion too, which makes anything harder to do.
But, we cannot use that excuse all the time, acknowledging that it's been tough, allows us to pivot and own it, and then we can do something about it. For me getting out to the garden and using the grill brings back a different excitement with food, and I cannot wait to fire up the BBQ.
What are you looking forward to?
It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.
