Cleaning Out the Fridge Pasta

Good Evening Everyone!  I hope you all had a fabulous day!  Only one more work day till the weekend.  After checking all my emails I got busy on the computer looking for jobs, looking at schools, and trying to some what figure out my future.  The future still seems to be a bit up in the air, which is something that I really do not like.  Anyways that requires a lot more thinking, and I am not sure you all would want to sit and listen to me ramble about the many life options I have.  So instead I will just talk about dinner.
Tonight my parents and I decided that we needed to clean out the fridge.
I mean we have tons of leftovers from the 4th and lots of leftovers from last nights dinner.  My dad decided to make pasta which he then tossed with olive oil parmesan cheese and the left over grilled zucchini and squash from lasts nights dinner.

Post Work Out Thoughts

Good Afternoon, I am a bit late on posting today.  I think its due to the fact that I am dragging, I feel like I have gotten no sleep.  At least not a lot of good sleep! Anyways since I have been dragging this afternoon I have seriously been neglecting my emails.  So after my workout I decided I would go through and delete all the pointless ones!
Lets just say that about 98% of them were pointless, I mean emails that you can read the title and you have no interest in reading.  Basically I am talking junk mail!  And in this 98% of junk that comes to my email inbox each day a good portion of those are health related, fitness related and diet related.  I mean I get so many emails on diets, the latest food fads, and what to eat and not eat that my head literally spins checking my email.  
So how are we supposed to know what to eat, and what is the best healthy options.  Here is my advice, this is what I strive to do in my daily life.  I focus my meals around fresh produce.  Usually half of my plate consists of fruits and veggies, and then the other half is made up of lean protein and whole grains.  I try to balance my meals out, and notice I feel the best when I eat healthy and fresh foods.  

Clearly way more veggies on my plate then anything!
Now I am not saying that I do not indulge in sweets, because believe me I do. 
Remember these?
 I simply strive for a balance in my life, and eat the things I know make my body feel the best.  I encourage you to step away from the diet fads and experiment with foods.  Figure out what foods make you feel the best inside and out.  Eating right to me makes a world of a difference!

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day, I am headed down to Thursday's on First with some friends (a kinda farmers market/craft fair).  See you later on and remember to live Happily Ever Healthy
