As I am about to head up to Rowe, Massachusetts this morning to teach my weekend workshop entitled “Feed Your Soul: Change Your Weight,” and I am thinking, “What can I pack for the train ride? For lunch, for a snack?”

As you know (and maybe resist doing???), being prepared is a an important aspect to healthy weight management, and I am happy to report that I have a good deal of ingredients on hand! I am prepared!!! Glory Be.

I have some grapes, oranges, apples ready to go!  And after I post this delish blog-post, I am going to whip up one or two Banana Roll-Ups.  A major 5 yum happening!

Join with?  The banana rolls and/or the workshop (There’s still time! It ain’t over till it’s over!)!
