The Daily Balance

Q: Your eating habits seem great. And you eat out and enjoy while maintaining your figure. Do you estimate calories/day? How many calories do you eat to maintain? Any tips for for keeping balanced?

A: First of all, thank you! See my previous Q&A post in regards to counting calories. As far as tips for keeping balanced go, I’m able to eat out and splurge because I uphold my 90/10 rule. I’ve explained this before, but it goes like this. I eat healthy and make clean, fresh choices 90% of the time. That means that 10% of the time, I don’t have to worry about having an extra brownie or scoop of ice cream. And when I do indulge, I thoroughly enjoy it – guilt free! The bottom line is that one or two cookies is NOT going to cause you to gain weight. The entire box and making it a daily habit will.

Q: Who’s the funniest person you know?

A: Well, I have a rather odd sense of humor that I share with some of the most important people in my life. That being said, the funniest people I know are the Mister, My Dad, Tracy Levy and my brother (sorry mom, you gotta work on your delivery ).

Q: I’d love to know more about your family .. any brothers or sisters?!

A: It’s just my mom, my dad and my brother. And by now you already know that I’m obsessed with my family. I do however, have two sister-in-laws, who have become real sisters to me. I love them both dearly and we have so much fun together (even though it isn’t as often as I’d like). I also have a brother in law, who is pretty cool 95% of the time (the other 5% he is making fun of me). The Mister also has two stepsisters, who I consider to be my true sister-in-laws, as well. I’m so lucky to have acquired such amazing siblings via my marriage to the Mister!

For those of you who didn’t ask a question: don’t worry! We’ll do this again soon.
