FOOD!, FOOD!, FOOD!

OK SO, I FIGURED THAT A LOT OF MY PROBLEM COMES FROM WHAT I EAT OR DON'T EAT(DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?). BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE VERY HECTIC LIFESTYLES I TEND TO EAT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ON THE GO FOODS. THIS BOOK "EAT THIS NOT THAT" TELLS YOU WHAT TO ORDER FROM A RESTRAUNT OR WHAT NOT TO ORDER. I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL BUY AND A GREAT WAY TO BECOME ACCOUNTABLE. ALSO, I DON'T COOK ENOUGH. I ACTUALLY LOVE WHEN WE ALL 4 SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE AND ENJOY A GOOD HOME-COOKED MEAL. BUT I DO FEEL LIKE I COOK THE SAME FOODS ALL THE TIME. THIS FAMILY COOKBOOK ALSO SEEMS LIKE A GREAT BUY, TO BENEFIT ME AND MY FAMILY. AND FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE "EAT THIS NOT THAT" THEY ALSO OFFER ONE FOR KIDS.

BLOG FOR A CAUSE

OK SO THIS IS ME ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY....UGGGH...GROSS....WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? TEN YEARS AGO I WAS ABOUT 120 POUNDS AND I LOOKED GOOD, TODAY NOT SO MUCH. OK SO LET ME THINK WHAT GOT ME TO THIS POINT WAS IT, PREGNANCY, MARRIAGE, LIFE, FOOD, EXERCISE (OR LACK OF IT)? LETS SAY ALL OF THE ABOVE. I HAVE BECOME THAT MOM, THE ONE WHO HAS NO TIME FOR HERSELF AND HAS ALLOWED HERSELF TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. I WANT ME BACK! HOW WILL I GET ME BACK? NOT SURE YET, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THIS PICTURE BELOW IS NOT WHO I AM....THIS BODY, THIS PERSON, IS FOREIGN TO ME, AND I HAVE TO FIND MY WAY BACK TO ME. SO ENJOY THE JOURNEY WITH ME, AS I BLOG FOR A CAUSE, AND FORGE AHEAD TO A RE-INVENTED VERSION OF THE OLD ME.
