eat healthy

I haven’t been eating all that great lately.

I started a new project at my job which totally changed my schedule.

Last week alone I ate pancakes once and bagels twice for breakfast.

And yesterday for lunch I went to McDonalds. Now, I hate McDonalds, I know they’re evil and the food is horrible for you…but I didn’t have any cash on me and that was the only thing around that takes debit cards.

At least I had a grilled chicken sandwhich and a SMALL fry and no soda…right?

I have also been eating sweets that I shouldn’t eat.

This week I’ll get back on track, I promise.

1. Clifbar (100% organic protein bar)
2. Water

1. Apricot fruit leather

1. Small whole wheat wrap with white meat chicken and swiss
2. Apple
3. Water and Seltzer water (no aspartame)

1. Boca meatless chili and organic corn chips
2. Seltzer water (no aspartame)

1. Small soft pretzel (no salt)
2. Water

I think I ate pretty healthy today…didn’t overdo it. There’s always room for improvement though.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I have made significant strides toward this goal already, but I could definitely improve on this.

Five years ago I was a college student – eating fast food, chips, and soda to sustain myself. Yes, the stereotype is true, college students eat garbage.

A few years later I wanted to lose some weight. I cut out fast food and regular soda, switching to diet soda. Yes, I lost almost 50 pounds from this in a year and a half. Can you imagine?

Fast forward to now. I’m eating a lot better than I used to but I still eat some garbage. I still have the occasional Diet Coke and Doritos, maybe some Taco Bell every now and again. But on the whole, I would say I eat pretty well. I buy organic when I can, I drink mostly plain water or seltzer water with natural flavors, no aspartame, etc. I eat veggie burgers and I’m trying to give up red meat. I actually like all the soy and tofu stuff.

My goal is to give up processed junk food and limit sweets and diet soda. Other than that, I think my diet is pretty healthy.
