Warrior Wellness | Healthy eating shouldn’t be this complicated
Hey there, Reader!Have you ever decided you were going to eat healthier and somehow ended up with a whole new job? Find healthy recipes. And, of course, make sure every meal checks all the right boxes. It’s a lot. And when we can’t keep up with all of it, it’s easy to decide that eating healthy is just hard. But I don’t think healthy eating has to require this much work. Sometimes dinner can just be dinner. Sometimes you can eat the same breakfast three days in a row. Sometimes the best thing you can do is keep a few really simple foods around that make it easy to put together a nourishing meal when you’re tired and hungry. And sometimes the answer isn’t learning more about healthy eating. It’s figuring out how to make what you already know easier to do. That’s what this week’s Warrior Wellness blog is about. We’re looking at why eating well can start to feel like such a big project and some practical ways to simplify it without giving up on nourishing your body well.
Something to think about this week...What part of eating healthy feels like the most work to you right now, and is there a way you could make that one thing simpler? Give it a try this week. |

I think sometimes we get so caught up in trying to eat less of the things we think...
Hey there, Reader! I don't know how many times I've opened my refrigerator at the end of the week and discovered vegetables that never made it into a meal. And here's the funny thing. I meal plan! I make my grocery list based on that plan, and I buy what I need. It's not like I'm wandering through the produce section throwing random vegetables into my cart and hoping for the best. But somehow, I still end up throwing some of them away. Sometimes I simply buy more than I need. Sometimes I get...
Hey there, Reader! One of the biggest obstacles to eating well isn’t knowing what to eat. It’s having the time and energy to actually make it. You get home late. You have 20 minutes between one thing and the next. You’re exhausted, everyone is hungry, and the last thing you want to do is start chopping vegetables. So healthy eating gets postponed until you have more time. We’ve made “eating well” too complicated When you picture a healthy dinner, what do you see? If your answer involves a...
