Rainy days call for lounging around in your house, ordering
in pizza or Chinese food, and just pigging out, right? Welllllll, not if you
are stuck in the house for more than 3 days! Here in NYC this week, the rain
isn’t supposed to let out until the end of the weekend, possibly even mid-next
week !! It is super humid, so even if it doesn’t rain one day, it is still
torture to go outside! I am hoping the weather man gives me some good news by
Friday, but I highly doubt it =(.
When we are stuck at home watching movies, with no intentions
of going out in the nasty weather, we like to eat. We eat because we eventually
become bored, and really have nothing else to do with our time. Well here is a
solution for ya…. Run to the super market, and buy healthy snacks. Read those
cookbooks you have laying around, and buy ingredients for a healthy meal you
find. It isn’t worth it to gain a few pounds while being stuck at home, when
you could be doing at home exercises and limiting what you eat! Summer time
soups are really hearty, healthy, AND easy to make!
A colleague of mine sent me this recipe she made last time
she was stuck in the house, and she raved about it!
(You can ditch the sour cream and tortilla strips that
the recipe also calls for J)
I know it isn’t easy to eat healthy while stuck inside all
day, TRUST ME, but it is worth it! You may enjoy that pizza pie at the time,
but once the sun comes out, you’re going to regret it ;). Portion your meals,
and drink lots of water. Also, add more protein and fiber to your diet. This
way, you will be full for longer, and won’t snack as much.
