Technically it’s not fall until September 23rd, but it’s the first day of September and it’s time to start embracing the fall, and all that comes with it! Growing up, fall has always been my favorite season: I love the weather, the color of the leaves as they change, the seasonal vegetables, football games, school starting back again, and the anticipation of the Holiday seasons. Oh, and my birthday. And candy corn. Loooove candy corn.

3. Resist Calorie Counting. I’ve said several times throughout this blog that I was inspired by Tina on Carrots N Cake to ditch my calorie-counting ways this summer. However, I have to admit that coming back to school has gotten me counting again. Not totaling for the entire day, but I’m definitely adding up numbers on my phone throughout the day. I think it’s a control issue – so I’m hoping that Goal #1 will help make me feel less out of control. I need to focus on nutrients, not calories!
This morning I went to the grocery store and saw that they had fresh figs! I love them dried but never had a fresh fig, so I decided to give them a try! When I got home, I saw that one had been squished in transport! Clearly I needed to eat it, and it was SO GOOD! Go out and buy figs now! It was sweet and absolutely delicious!
After the fig, I also had some cottage cheese with chopped up apple and cinnamon for breakfast. (I’d had some cereal early that morning when I woke up).
| I added a plum in the picture to show you all, they have a type of plum at TJs right now called a Dapple Dandy Pluot. So I guess it’s not a plum? I’ll have to look into this… |
