CrystalJo74's Journal, 08 October 2021

Used my new InstantPot to make wonderful beans with that yummy bean 'juice' that a pressure cooker produces. Spread them over a thin slice of hubby's bread machine whole wheat bread. Served up with tossed greens salad with Walden Farms no-calorie dressing. I even had room in my calorie budget for a homemade blueberry muffin! Now THIS is better eating at our house 😉

It's also been effective for me to stop eating at 6 pm. I'm sleeping better and the scale seems to appreciate it 😁

We've had a death in the family 2 days ago (my husband's sister) and I was afraid I would turn to food for comfort...but somehow I was able to continue to make mindful food choices/portions. Maybe this new eating lifestyle change IS sustainable...

Peace and happiness to you all today ✌🍎🙋‍♀️
