Here's a picture of the fruit I'm currently eating. I love all kinds of fruits, especially bananas. But my favorite is watermelon, which I could eat year-round, and I can't wait until it comes into season. What's your favorite fruit?
Happy Eating!

An Apple A Day
The saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," is very true. Eating a well-balanced diet that incorporates fruits, vegetables, protein and whole grains, contributes to a healthy body and promotes overall well-being. Last week I committed to incorporating fruit into my diet every day. So far so good, and with summer coming I'm looking forward to eating a host of tropical fruits.

If You're Gonna Do Something, Do It Big!
One thing about a Southern Belle--we take everything we do to a whole new level! If we decide to do something, we do it BIG! Take for instance my post-workout meal this afternoon. Normally after I workout I eat a light meal, usually a salad, and I feel satisfied. But today I was hungry--ribs touching my backbone kind of hungry--and I knew a salad wasn't gonna cut it. So I grilled a thick, juicy burger (charcoal grill, which is the ONLY way to go!). Well, I didn't want that delicious burger to stand by itself, so I cooked up some golden fries to go along with it. When I tell you it was scrumptious...Lord have mercy, it was good!
Moral of the story...If you're going to splurge, go all out. After I grilled my thick, juicy burger a little voice said, "Make a small side salad to go with it, that way you can reduce your caloric intake and not ruin your entire workout." But then a bigger voice said, "Excuse me, but that burger needs fries, and you need to enjoy it!" If I ate burgers and fries every day I would've listened to that little voice, but I don't, so I didn't.
Life is too short to deprive yourself of what you want. Moderation and balance is key to most everything. But it also pays to splurge every now and then. Live big, think big, dream big, and enjoy the beautiful blessing we call life...with a thick juicy burger and fries to wash it down!
Do it big and enjoy!
