Apples, peaches, blackberries, and cherries are typically found in the produce section of your local grocery store. These fruits are a great option for snacking due to the multitude of vitamins and nutrients they contain. Get a little creative, add a few other ingredients, then before you know it these fruits become the super stars of some of the most delicious desserts we know and love as pies. What if you don't have much of a sweet tooth? Chicken pot pie tends to be the savory option.
However, there is another flavor that you won't find listed in most restaurant menus or even a recipe in cookbooks. It's been around for ages yet always has a place in our lives. One small slice is more than enough for most. The taste can range from bitter to bittersweet and even at times slightly sweet. This is the highly versatile Humble Pie.
Ingredients may very from person to person as well as the focus for creating this proverbial pie. We will narrow our focus to choices in respect to daily available hours. To keep things simple, the recipe will only contain three ingredients. Let's get to it!
Our pie will consist of twenty-four (24) daily available hours. The first ingredient is "Sleep" which we will add in eight (8) hours worth. The second ingredient is "Exercise" where we will add just a dash for one (1) hour. Finally, the third ingredient will be "Nutrition" taking up the remaining fifteen (15) hours. Remember, we are keeping this recipe (overly) simple!

With our pie complete, it is relatively easy to see which ingredient stands out most. Each ingredient holds its own importance, yet "Nutrition" comes in at 63% of the entire pie. Does this mean you should actively eat during the fifteen (15) available hours? Of course not! It simply shows the potential impact your choices can have each day.
Nutrition is more than just putting food into your body. Creating a plan (or recipe) for success should also include: determining when it's best for you to eat, quantities to be consumed, and staying hydrated. These factors will help keep you on track in reaching your goals. Helping to enjoy a slightly sweet Humble Pie.
