Destination: Health!

So, the husband and I have decided to start eating healthy as of few days ago. Also on the health track are nightly walks spent exploring the Hiranandani region, running errands, grocery shopping and spending time together. Makes me wonder why our best conversations happen while we're out on our perambulations!

Coming back to the healthy eating bit, we have started (I have resumed) having small meals every two hours. So much to the surprise of the husband, he took the following to office yesterday -

1. Sprout salad (for mid morning snack)
2. Idli-sambhar for lunch
3. Carrots and cucumbers for 3pm 
4. An orange for 5pm 
5. Yogurt for 7pm 

And he came home complaining of eating all day.. AND, feeling hunger pangs every two hours! Mission well on way to being accomplished I say!

To top this, our day starts with almonds, walnuts and dates along with a combination of lime juice-hot water-honey and a fruit. Breakfast consists of 1 slice whole wheat toast and 2 egg whites.

Dinner last night was a healthy mushroom-broccoli soup with sautéed mushrooms and whole wheat pasta!

Learning - not to use maida (even one tablespoon for 3 cups water, 1 1/2 cup milk) in a soup if you want it to be truly healthy and nourishing. The cook has been duly instructed to avoid adding maida/ cornflour to any soups/ stews going forward! 

And as for a refreshing drink at the end of a long day, a pitcher full of iced green tea does the trick and gets you going for the next 5km walk!

With all this food and drink and other benfits, I must admit the journey seems to make the destination worth reaching!
