Greetings Everyone!
Hope this post finds you happy and healthy!
I had a very busy day today which consisted of work, church meetings, and showing up a day early for one of my dog/house sitting clients (doh!)
However I am so happy to say that I was still able to maintain a healthy diet and exercise schedule. It is working because it is tailor to my life. I cannot stress enough the importance of being yourself and making things work for you.
So my food and exercise journals were as follows for the day:

Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano (do not drain)
1 can any white beans (I use Great Northern or Navy usually)
1 package fresh spinach
6 cups cooked rigatoni
6 Tablespoons Romano or Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano (do not drain)
1 can any white beans (I use Great Northern or Navy usually)
1 package fresh spinach
6 cups cooked rigatoni
6 Tablespoons Romano or Parmesan cheese (grated)
Directions
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet.
2. In a separate pan start boiling water for rigatoni and get the rigatoni cooked while you continue.
3. Add garlic, saute for a minute or so.
4. Add tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil.
5. Cover with spinach, top with lid, reduce heat to low and simmer about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
6. Spoon tomato/beans/spinach mixture over rigatoni and sprinkle with cheese.
This makes 6 servings of 1 cup of pasta, 1 cup of sauce and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
Number of Servings: 6

Make enough to make more than one meal. This is a great idea if you are trying to save money on food!

I love doing Yoga to end my day. It just helps me to completely relax. To help set the mood I always light 4 candles. They each stand for Faith, Hope, Love, and the largest candle symbolizes God and the light that he shines upon us every single day!
Here is to a wonderful day!!
Blessings to you all!
