This thread is geared to the joy of mindful meal planning. Personally for many reasons I want to up my food game choices. I want my money to be even better spent. I want to improve preparation of a good food budget. I want to ingest foods which have been proven (in my experience) to be worth my while nutritiously to add to my health, energy and part of my joyful days at home, work or wherever I am. Even when you’ve become satisfied with your choices…it’s a fun and rewarding idea to look at your desires with fresh eyes(:

I was speaking to a female bmindful friend of mine this morning…and we had a wonderfully honest conversation as we always do…. and we began discussing food, our love for it and desire to be our best selves in a happy way of course… in 2016.

My friend & I are both petite women… under 5 ft 4… and not 21 anymore(:

We’ve been indulging joyously during recent festivities…and may continue on for a bit longer(: In order to stay petite and that-wonderfully healthy place…love choosing foods that add to this without using the gym to make up for decisions which could be ‘a bit better’

This thread is dedicated to being even more marvelous

Some people cringe at the idea of planning anything. Though, I must admit…I almost always enjoy it. Why almost? Of course I would love it if all came together without giving things a second thought… We all know getting results of various things takes a bit of focus…so choosing a time to do incremental planning works for me. I have found beginning small…creates the desire for bigger blocks of time to dedicate to deciding what I want, why I want it…and allowing what it takes to stew, and mix it all up for a creative feast…and become that grand plan(:

• • ~ ~ ~ I enjoy eating foods that are mouth watering, nutritious and keep my energy distributed in rewarding ways. It takes time to find out what works for what you want…Though, what a reward to hear your self talk express sincere satisfaction in your personal choices.
