On track for day 2 of 2!
I've been worried lately that my usual meals don't provide enough fiber, so before bed last night I tried pre-planning by first identifying fiber-rich items I could include, then building the remainder of the meal around them. That was a great idea, because the new constraint (emphasize fiber) made me get creative, and I've come up with a batch of ideas that I'm excited about. I made two today that were quite tasty to me, and I have a few more new ideas to implement over the next few days.
Planting seeds... hmm. I read an article today about cutting back added sugar. I do that personally, but I've not been good at monitoring my kids' added sugar consumption, and apparently kids should have only 3 tsps (12 grams) of added sugar per day. I talked to my little dudes about this, and they understand the concept, and throughout the day we talked about how much added sugar was in X or Y food item. Today we did a lot of, "no, we've already had X, so Y is too much added sugar, but if you want something sweet, you can have an orange or berries...."
They're old enough to understand, and I think it's important for them to learn how to evaluate what's healthy or not, but I'm not sure if I've planted a beautiful flower here or a future eating disorder. Really hoping for the flower!12 -

@LesIckaBod I had to laugh at your future eating disorder comment. It is hard to be a parent. I have talked to my kids about healthy eating & recently told my son that he can diet however he chooses but make sure to eat protein a certain number of grams of protein every day (he wants a visible 6 pack). fingers crossed that we are doing the right things... I just know I am doing my best.6

Interesting day today ...
Ever feel like you don't know who to believe? Even though this was extremely discouraging to see this morning and could have possibly derailed me from continuing with my fitness goals, it did not.
The first two photos in the spoiler are snippets from an email I received from my fitness center. I have blocked out their name. After I emailed Tivity (through my insurance) to find out why they removed this fitness center from their program, I received the email in the third photo. Why didn't my former fitness center just be truthful and say "we're not making enough money from these memberships" or something like that. This is the same organization that pulled Silver Sneakers from their membership and all those folks had to find somewhere else to go for their fitness pursuit.
After receiving the confirmation from Tivity in a phone call that indeed they were not the ones who canceled the membership I had with this fitness center, I called PF and have an appt. tomorrow morning to join. Tivity also was kind enough to cut my monthly membership fee in half for three months to give me time to find another gym I'm comfortable with.
Onward and upward toward the prize! 🏆

3 yes. Exercise ring on the apple watch somehow got closed during normal activity, tracked everything including a lot of fruits and vegetables, and am still under in terms of calories.
Today I also got an hour long massage, using a voucher that has been expired for two years. The place was amazing and honored it nevertheless.6
