Eating Best

best: (adverb) most excellently or suitably; with most success


In order to use this word correctly, I must explain that best is the superlative for the word well. ex: Computers work well vs. Computer work best if kicked.

Jen eats well when she plans ahead.
Jen eats best if she plans and prepares ahead of time and forces herself to follow the plan.
This week, I've been re-concentrating on eating better than well, eating best. My planning ahead usually takes the form of going to the grocery store, buying lunch supplies and haphazardly getting stuff for dinners. I've prepared much better for my Weight Watchers friendly dinners. Not only do I have food for lunch but I have all the fixings for the following meals;
  1. Tri Tip Steak (Jan. 4)
  2. Salsa Porkchops
  3. Stir-fry Chicken
  4. Turkey Zitti
  5. Sloppy Joes
  6. Baked Breaded Chicken Alfredo (Jan. 6)
  7. Chicken Noodle Soup
  8. Tri-tip Veggie Soup
  9. Broccoli-Chedder Soup (Jan. 7)
  10. Several versions of pizza (Jan. 3 and Jan. 5)

I have also concentrated on getting enough water into my system. At CMS, I never had an issue, but I've used my bathroom (or lack thereof) issues as an excuse since starting this school year. Another excuse I've uses is "no place to put my 5 gallon jug" and I can't use that many water bottles per day.

Here's my new plan... take this baby to school every day with water from home. Drink most of it during fourth period, go to the bathroom, drink during lunch, teach fifth period, go to the bathroom again and again and again :)

I took the picture next to a regular water bottle so you could see the true size--that is a 44 oz water bottle!!

I have been successful so far!
