Day 21 – Chicken Lettuce Wraps

They say it takes 21 days to break a habit.

Today is my Day 21 of making better choices, and so far, this is what I have to report:

• Less hangry moments (they do occur if I don’t time out my meals properly)
• Less body pain in the morning (if you don’t count my butt hurting from doing Turbo Jam)
• Less cravings for all things formally known as “my diet” (aka Cheetos, Whatchamacallit Candy, MochaChocaLattes, and any form of beef)
• Less pounds to carry everywhere I go (down 14 pounds since Day 1 – not even trying to lose weight, people)
• More energy (sudden bursts of dance moves, butt squeezes, and/or squats while waiting at the microwave = more energy)
• More sleep (actually getting 6 hours on average which is a record for me)

And, the most important thing I have to report on Day 21 is I’m eating everything I love and don’t feel like I’ve done much but somehow program myself to feel better through better choices. It’s not rocket surgery. Lo and behold, all it takes is moving my booty at least four times a week for 20 minutes and not shoveling copious amounts of M&Ms into my pie hole every time I pass a bowl full of them.

I have to admit that I’ve always felt nothing good came from eating sad little salads, and I was right. They totally suck!

But, cleaner eating or healthier, better choices doesn’t have to mean eating sad little salads. Kids, I’m eating bacon on a daily! I grew up eating breakfast tacos and bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast. That ain’t gonna change. What did change was that instead of eating two pieces of toast, a tablespoon of butter for my two eggs, plus my three strips of bacon, and butter and jelly on my toast (don’t judge), I now have one egg cooked in the renderings from my one slice of bacon, and I enjoy one piece of toast lightly buttered. Eat what you love! Love what you eat! And, most importantly, love yourself and make simple, better choices so you can continue reading my blog!

Throw a protein and some colorful things (preferably vegetables and herbs) together, and enjoy! That’s honest to goodness all I have been doing – nothing fancy. Every meal I make is filling, delicious, flavorful, and happy – just like these Chicken Lettuce Wraps! They are flavor bombs in a nice little lettuce wrapper and super easy to throw together.
