THE ONLY SANDWICH YOU SHOULD EAT TODAY
Who doesn’t love a peanut butter sandwich? I know I do! Most of us boomers grew up eating a lot of them as it was a go to staple in our simpler world. I bet many of you over fifty women still love peanut butter sandwiches, but if you’re like me, we don’t eat them because of the bread. So I decided to ditch the bread and use a banana in its place. It’s so easy and delicious!

THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO MARKET . . .
I’ve had an issue with my teeth since I’ve been a little girl. I had what were called “soft teeth” which meant that I was cavity prone. Coupled with the fact that I ate a lot of candy, going to the dentist was an ongoing chore and very unpleasant. My dentist never gave me any type of numbing medicine and I’m certain most of you know they were around fifty years ago. He actually removed a nerve from my tooth which landed me in the emergency room of a local hospital that night because the pain was so excruciating. The one thing I remembered the most about this dentist was the green plastic awnings outside his building.
THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOOD JOURNAL
Here’s my Thursday, Friday and Saturday food journal. Let’s face it: the weekend starts on Thursday for most of us. That being said these days are super critical in weight management. We think of the weekends as a time of letting loose and eating and drinking more than we usually do so it’s very important to be extra mindful during this period of the week. When I started incorporating an extra cardio workout on Sundays and since I always exercise on Saturday, I usually rest on Fridays. It’s important to allow yourself one super hearty meal (most people refer to it as a “cheat meal” but I don’t think of it as a cheat, it’s just a little extra that I let myself have). I think you need one meal when you actually feel super stuffed to remind yourself how terrible it actually feels.
