My fiancé Chad just returned home from a business trip to China – and while I missed him like hell I noticed something about myself while he was away…
When he was away I was less inspired to get in the kitchen and whip something up – sure I still did it, but making something really delicious just wasn’t as exciting as when I get to share it with him.
Since this was an obstacle that I had to overcome during the last 2 weeks – I figured out that to get myself excited about the meals that I had to cook for my lonesome self, I had to remind myself that I was cooking to nourish MY body. Not only did that get my butt in gear but I was also able to step back and, being the health coach that I am, I did what I would tell my clients to do – I actually pretended cook for other people – sure I know that sounds weird – but it worked! This worked because not only did I make fantastic meals but also I had fun doing it, AND I had leftovers for the next couple of days!
What could be better then that?!
So, if you find yourself alone at home – whether it’s because you’re single, or because your significant other has left town – I challenge you to cook yourself a delicious meal and actually LIKE it! A very tasty recipe will be on my next post – stay tuned!
