As I look back over this summer, I realize that I have a dirty little secret... my diet sucks! Okay, so maybe "SUCKS" is a strong word. But I have not been getting enough fruit or veggies and I have been surrendering to my sweet tooth. Oh my sweet, sweet tooth kicks in like Bruce Lee! I have been eating Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie, doughnuts, cake, cookies and another vice is hot wings and french fries, not necessarily together. My saving grace is that I am extremely active and I run, walk, jog, and spin multiple times daily.
People say, that means you can eat whatever you like and not gain weight. My answer to that is yes but heart disease has no weight requirement. I want to be the healthiest I can. I also notice a vast difference in my energy and overall excitement for life when I am eating more fresh fruits and veggies. So my mission is to get a minimum of 10 total servings of fruits and veggies a day!
Today I decided to take action and get more of the good stuff into my life. I made a Portabella Mushroom Burger and it was so damn good and juicy! I marinated the portabella for 10 minutes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a dash of sea salt, pepper, and itallian seasoning. I cooked it 5 minutes on each side in my NuWave Oven. Then, i grilled onions, roasted red peppers and sundried tomatoes. I toasted the thin buns and topped it all with 1/4 avocado and smeared another 1/4 avocado on the bun. MMMmmmm...good!
