Table For One!
My husband works out if town and is gone for 8 days at a time and my children (20 years old) are working a ton these days.
It's often just me for meals and that often means leftovers, a protein shake, or... nothing all while standing up in the kitchen paying no attention to anything.
Lately, and after I realized I was eating HALF the food I needed (thanks to Cait's calculations) I have been trying to eat MORE. I've felt so, so much better since I literally doubled my calories. :( And, managed to lose a couple pounds. 🤏
Instead of leftovers tonight I made a whole chicken, made a big salad of red leaf lettuce I found at the farmers market and dressed it with olive oil, lemon, acv, chia seeds, cilantro and maldon salt... then caramelized some onions, cut up an avocado and decided on a chunk of sliced mango for *dessert*. It was a very simple meal that took me about 20 minutes of prep but it felt so extravagant.
I set the table, poured myself some sparkling water in a wine glass, added a basil leaf and sat to enjoy my meal. I practiced some diaphragmatic breathing first and then dug in. I was mindful of my chewing as I realize I gobble down meals.
What started out feeling a bit over the top for *just me* ended up feeling very nurturing.... from me, to me.
I think as women we often find ourselves nurturing others and leaving little time for ourselves. I didn't realize I needed a little bit of that love... for me. 🥰
Big win!
Now off to use the chicken to make bone broth! ❤️
