one step at a time
Well I'm on my lunch break, and Ive been meaning to be healthier. Rugby is over, which means no more can I eat what I want and lose weight and no more will I be forced to excersize, and no more will there be an excersize available that I love with all my heart :( nevertheless, I am determined to stay healthy!! how? the hard, but only effective way. Diet and excersize. Which for me translates into not eating taco bell for every meal and running... yes I know I hate running... but running/ working out a lot. and regularly. so for lunch I decided a bagel would be healthy and maybe a fruit of some sort or a string cheese. but as I was walking over to the food court I passed a group of boys eating taco bell. I love taco bell. It's been my food fad for the last few months. Lst year was taquitos from seven eleven this year is a fresa bean burito and cheesy fiesta potatoes from taco bell. I immediatly cut the bagel and decided I'd start eating better tomorrow. Pathetic I know, but wait, I find a little bit of dicipline. As I get to taco bell I begin to talk myslef out of it. I begin to think about other choices that I also enjoy and that would be better for me. But the bean burrito was pretty persistent and it's just some protein in a tortilla right? It's not like I'm eating a greasy burger. So I got the burito. The cheesy fiesta potatoes in all their sour cream and fake cheese glory were harder to rationalize though. I knew I had to cut them, but as I pondered what to replace it with and stood looking at a shelf of apples and oranges and bananas I just couldn't do it. Well, I gave up the potatoes, but I wasn't ready to replace them with an apple just yet. I got the frozen yogurt, not to be confused with soft serve ice cream. yogurt. healthy. delicious. frozen yogurt. so I figure not a bad start. better than the norm, but room for improvement. :) but don't get to comfortable on that shelf my little apple friend. i'll be ready for you by next week!!!
