have decided i need to be more aware of what i am actually putting in my body. what food i am actually consuming during the day. really my diet has consisted for years of what a 5 year old would eat. junk food, snack food (string cheese, breads, cottage cheese, etc.) and for main meals the “classics”. mac & cheese. noodles and parmesan. grilled cheese. yes. i eat like a 5 year old. have probably since i was really was a 5 year old.
getting married almost 3 1/2 years ago did help my eating habits, i do have to admit. well, it helped and it hurt. before i got married food was merely something i ate because i had to – other than dessert of course. on days where i was busy it would be 4:00 pm and i would realize i had eaten a handful of goldfish for the day & i was okay with that. since i’ve been married though, eating is more of a routine thing, a social thing if you will. which means i eat more! lots more! so that’s the downside. the upside is my taste in food has grown up slightly. i can now eat at the adult table, most of the time.
will be using this blog for at least the next two weeks, as my food and exercise diary. sorry if this annoys anyone, but it’s my blog. so deal. time to get serious about my eating habits.
this will also put to rest people asking me, “what do you eat? what does your diet consist of? how often do you really work out?”
now you will all have full disclosure. i warn you, it’s not very pretty. all you health nuts out there will gasp in horror here in the beginning – just please gasp quietly.
here it goes…
