Turkey Chili Saves the Day!

I know that if I am not prepared with my food, I will fall off the wagon.

Each night, I fill up my water bottles, and pack up my lunch and snacks so all I have to do in the morning is grab it and go.  Last night, I did not do it.

And this morning, I woke up late.

And my son was supposed to be dropped off at school early.

Oops.

Thank goodness I made that turkey chili on Sunday!  Last night I had some for dinner.  I added some 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese, a few dashes of Red Hot, and I made some cauliflower "rice".  Have you ever use cauliflower to make a rice?  If you haven't, you should!  I'll get to the cauliflower at another time.  It deserves its own post!!

I still have a ton of it in the fridge.  So I quickly grabbed a container, threw in a scoop of turkey chili, added some cheese and some hot sauce......done!  Lunch was good to go!

For a snack, I added in a small package of natural almonds and a cheese stick.  I knew I still had an apple at work, so I just grabbed an Extend bar for the afternoon on the way home from work.

I wasn't prepared, but in a way I was!  I had things that were easy to grab, even if I was running late!

Tonight I am going to make sure I have everything done ahead of time.  I do not want to get in the habit of waiting until the morning to get ready for the day!

Today, I am feeling good.  I have been eating healthy, and I haven't felt like I was missing out on anything.  I am still craving some chocolate right after lunch, so I ate my apple and drank some water.  That craving was satisfied!

Not sure what dinner is going to be tonight.  I think I am going to have a big salad with some hard boiled eggs.  Yum!

Time to go.  Have a super day!
