“Healthy Meals; No Snacks!”
Thank goodness: an easy Friday health Challenge during Lent! Following two Fridays that compromised our caffeine consumption, the Challenge today is to eat healthy meals and refrain from in-between snacks. Of course, some folks are required by their medical advisors to consume in-between foods. If that’s you, read the Bible and Pray for 5 minutes. For the rest of us, NO in-between snacks today and only eat healthy meals!
I’m not sure why I think this is easy. As with most of these Lenten Challenges, I’m usually confronting my own bad habits, and in-between snacking is certainly one of them. Pringles, Goldfish, pretzels, cheese and crackers, and chips with salsa are my problem areas. What are your temptations?
In addition, I don’t normally consume healthy meals. Burgers and pizza are my faves, especially on a Friday. I’m also a sucker for a good plate of Mexican Goo and some fresh fish, caught earlier in the day (and deep-fried). For 24-hours, I’m giving all of that up.
Yes, this might seem a bit silly, but I don’t care. I need this. I need a reminder to eat more balanced meals and stop the unhealthy snacking. Today’s my day! I hope you join me and make it yours, too.!
“Healthy meals only and no snacks for 24 hours!”
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31, NIV)
