Learning dehydration causes your brain to shrink scared the crap out of me to be honest. I need a good why to change my behaviour. This is one the biggest whys I've ever come across.

In Dive Deep this month we are reading "BioHack Your Brain." We dive into bug whys to help change our behaviour. We learn how to motivate ourselves and come to understand outselves, our bodies, our minds and our roadblocks better ... together.

Don't drink enough water? I listed just a few ... all related to our cognitive/brain function

See pictures for ingredients.

I mash the banana first then add everything else, mix well and bake in a 9x9 for 45 min @375

9x9 makes 9 servings.

HELP

my family’s having pizza. Need some inspiration for a healthy meal that I can make last minute. Protein options are limited.

Another good day.

breakfast was oats with all the fillers (chia, flax, cinnamon, protein powder) topped with slivered almonds and 1\3 diced apple

linch was a 3 egg omelette with a full serving of spinach and red pepper and a side of strawberries and blueberries

for snack I had 100g plain Greek yogurt with 1 scoop protein powder, a tbsn PB and a scoop of greens powder

dinner was spaghetti squash with homemade red sauce and meatballs with a salad on the side.

felt surprisingly satiated today!

no workout today, full rest for day 1 on my cycle.

still working on water

My biggest challenge right now is recovering from Covid and a husband who believes that the tomato sauce in spaghetti sauce or on top of pizza counts as enough veg. He's doing most of the cooking for dinners lately so I'm doing my best to ensure breakfast and lunch are packed full and then will add a salad or cut up veggies for my dinner as a "hint hint" to him about the veggies. ;)

It is VERY frustrating though because I've been working on him for YEARS!!!! Eva (my 15 year old) has learned and will plate half veggies leaving next to none for her dad. When he does cook veggies we have to steam up extra because he thinks a serving is what "he" would eat. Since I haven't been feeling well (no energy) I have just tried to be grateful for the meal he's prepared and too lazy to make anything additional. And if I'm brutally honest - it feels like a good excuse right now to just eat poorly for a little while.

Who else struggles when spouses or other members in their family that will take lead on meals? Any tips???

Crushed my water goal! Fight Club D5 and delicious stir fry with quinoa for super! Yes, there was hot sauce on it!
