improve my diet

My diet is terrible. The only thing keeping me in good shape is a few small workouts a week if that. For example: today i have consumed 4 cans of pop, 2 martinis, a vodka drink, 2 small bags of chips, an entire 4 serving box of popcorn chicken, some leftover jello salad. I have not had a peice of fruit in a week or two and vegetables are rare as well. Step one for me is cutting out pop, chips and other junk food and replacing them with water, juice, and fruits. It starts now, ill keep you updated.

The fact that I exercise a lot and I don’t eat the correct amounts, especially when I’m stopped in France I intend to join the gym, but I’m blissfully ignorant when it comes to calories, protein, nutrients, additives that I take in.

So I intend to learn a lot more about it and see that I look after my body a bit better. After all it’s the only one I’ve got ;)

I’ve decided to avoid overly sugary/salty things this week in the hope it will improve my skin-It’s going to be difficult though-I’m already craving chocolate! :(

I want to improve on both!

since i was very young i havnt been eating healthily but now i ant it all too change so i am going to become as healthy as possible

I’m anxious and have a very hard time focusing when I have too much caffeine. Of course this means that my mornings are normally shot in the productivity arena since I have 2 cups of coffee every morning (Mon – Friday). To calm the anxiety attacks and feelings of not being in control, I’ve noticed that walking helps. I have a gym at my job so, if I could get to work early enough for a 30 minute walk every morning I’d be more at ease. I’ve also found that taking pork and red meat out of my diet made a huge impact in my monthly mood swings and I’ve noticed that dairy results in skin irritations.

I say all of this because I KNOW what to do to have better mornings, afternoons and bedtimes but I fall off the band wagon, beat myself up and think my life sucks before I realize…It’s all a result of what I’m putting in my body.

I’m increasing the amount of walking I do, the amount of vegetables and fruit I eat and replacing at least one beverage with water everyday.

Watching what I eat has helped me lose 50 lbs. Definately worth it!!!

Needs to be done.

Even after all this time, I still struggle with this to a degree. I’m better at staying on top of my blood sugar swings and steering clear of dairy products, but I still eat way too many carbohydrates and not enough fresh fruit and vegetables.

I find myself in a difficult place. On one hand I feel that this goal isn’t specific enough. I can’t even tell whether I’ve improved my diet or not because I didn’t take stock of where I started. Which leads me to the other hand. I feel strangely embarrassed to write about this goal. I find it strange because it’s not as though I eat badly. I don’t drink soft drink by the gallon (hardly at all in fact) and am not snacking on lollies and junk food every chance I get.

I’m giving up on this for the time being. I think something more specific will help.

Actually, I eat pretty healthy considering the area I am living in and the types of food available to me. However, I became accustomed to eating a certain way when i lived in northern California and I just haven’t been able to keep up with the organic, vegetarian diet I once adhered to.
I’m not an anal retentive, if experience and life have taught me anything it’s to be grateful for what I DO have and not fret about what I do NOT have. Still, since I have lived out east and in a pretty rural area, i’ve had trouble maintaining a healthy diet. I have in fact, since i’ve lived here, put on at least twenty pounds which REALLY bums me out.
Breathe in breathe out….OK, like I said, i’m grateful for what I do have and I won’t help myself by beating myself up….so I won’t. I know I can accomplish the goals i’m setting up for myself…patience….
