Midlife Ladies: Yesterday, I posted that I fight the midlife weight gain by eating healthy “all the time.” Let me clarify what that means.

I follow the 80/20 principle. That means that I eat healthy 80% of the time and then eat whatever I want within reason 20% of the time. This maintains a healthy balance for me.

So let’s put that in practice: we eat at home 5 to 6 days a week and then we eat out 1 to 2 days a week. When we eat at home, I cook healthy meals. And because I live 20 miles from the grocery store (40 miles round-trip), I’ve had to get very good at either finding healthy recipes or coming up with my own recipes. There are no crazy diets on our house – this is just how we eat.
