I don’t know what to tell you other than, I don’t know what to tell you.
I really want some pumpkin pie AND there *might* be some in the fridge, and if there is…. then I also know the whereabouts of some whip cream in one of those futuristic aerosol cans. BUT! but, what if there is no pumpkin pie left? A true and frightening possibility. The last time Coral and I went grocery shopping, we bought just a half pie as a treat. That was the weekend and here I sit late on a Tuesday. Gone? it must be. Should I check? no, because if it is there, I’ll eat it, and if its not, I will eat the consolation prize, whip cream straight out of the can. bad.
I went to a personal trainer on Monday and did some fitness testing. I scored poor (or worse) on every test she did. Then she asked about my diet (which I thought was one area I excelled at) and she laughed at me.
I need to eat more, AND eat less. SWA? More good and more meals in general. Less processed food and WAY less pop. Sadness, pumpkin pie and pop are my favourites.
I am going to try and make a go of this. I will cut my pop back to treat status (kinda like beer, which I have kept in pretty good control since meeting Coral). If pop becomes beer, then it will be a weekend/holiday/event type dealio and not a daily, or multiple times a day thing.
The trainer said that one step alone will shrink my paunch.
Then she said, my general leanness (see: skinny) should make the perception of noticeable muscle growth a reality that will in turn, re-enforce my working-out-ness. Good times.
That all said, I woke up sore but good today… tomorrow I might get some time in the meat of the day between appointments to go again. Alright, twice in a week. That’s a start.
Go with yourself.
Good for you! I remember when you guys were talking about that movie Food, Inc. (I believe) in the summer and watching that preview sparked something huge in me (when I was ready, of course as all these things seem to work) when it came to shopping for the family and eating.
99% of what I buy now is found around the perimeter of the store, mostly local and always organic and it’s a good way to be. The treats are so much more decadent when they’re just treats, you know?
And dude? Fall in love with water.
water is definitely your friend.
i’m a huge lover of water innovations.
get a good pitcher with a top that seals, so it stays fresh tasting in the fridge… and experiment with fruit flavour combos.
some of my favourites are:
– lemon, lime & orange slices
– cucumber and fresh mint
– lime and mint
– fresh raspberries
it takes ordinary water to a whole new taste level, and it’s still sugar free, caffeine free and good for you.
Pop is the worst! (and the BEST at the same time) but vancity is right, mixing up water with other stuff is killer. My favorite (which I NEVER have because Lindsay won’t touch it) it Cucumber Water. Slices of cucumber, in a pitcher of water in the fridge. Delicious.
mmm raspberries in water? SOLD!
speaking of water, I better go get some.
