eat right

As a former athlete, I am just ready to get back into shape.

I am doing really well on this goal.
I pack my lunch now.
I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning other
that the ones I am just sick of it. Then
I eat a veggie omelet.
I started this goal because I started having
low blood sugar episodes – one in which I actually
passed out and my doctor told me I was prone
to hypoglycemia – very hard to diagnose I guess.
But he suggested controlling it through diet before
going any further. The key is to avoid blood sugar
spikes which then cause blood sugar to dip rapidly.
I am proud to say, I have not had a shaky or
fainting episode in a long time. It really is
a miracle – I feel great – and I have energy.

Yesterday I finally got some food stamps, and will now eat more once a day after quite some time. the whole process was kinda of easy and I was able to get some veggies and fruits that I normally can’t afford ,it was a good day.

since im on day twenty soemthing as a vegan. close enough.

today is my day 7, and i haven’t had any problems …yet. I’m also writing an article on what it’s like to be vegan, so i have to stick it out for at least 31 days. I told one of my friends about how I was considering doing this, and she talked to her editor, and I get published in august! Doing this makes it so easy to eat right, because junk food, and all the crap I was eating before, is made with animal products. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this earlier!

I’m doing an article for a friend’s magazine about what it’s like to be a vegan. Basically I go vegan for 30 days [or more] and document my experiences. I’m only 3 days into it, but i think it’ll be fun!

I’ve been eating almost totally vegan lately, and its actually making me feel better. I’m not as tired and bitchy as I usually am. Plus, my new foods taste better than the old ones! something to consider. idk. it’ll make eating out hard, but we’ll see. I have no moral implications against eating a burger [sorry cows] They taste okay and all, but I rarely eat meat anyway. the milk and eggs and such will be a little harder to tackle, esp cheese, i do love cheese! idk. I’ll think about it.

I never, or rarely ever, eat right. I don’t have a lot of time, or motivation to do so. I’ve gotten all the cookbooks and meal ideas, but they all require so much time. It’s so much faster to just grab a bag of whatever prepackaged food is sitting on the counter. I tried just buying healthy foods, but that just meant I was throwing rotted food away because I wouldn’t eat it. I think if I had a bigger apartment my time at home wouldn’t be as stressed because I would have more space for all my crap, so it would be cleaner. my how my goals overlap.

I have been pretty much eating right since October 2007. I am on my way to that health and fitness goal.

Yay ME!!!!
