Eating hEaThLy STINKS!!

Well Howdy! I have been gone for a long time...I guess I just haven't had much to say...or don't think to blog about it if I do. So, I trying to eat healthier (I am NOT calling this a diet because I DESPERATELY want it to be a lifestyle and not a life long dieting battle) because my pants are fitting a bit tighter and I don't like it one bit. Plus I have someone special (not mentioning who for their privacy) in my life that is needing to eat healthy for more immediate health concerns and so I am trying my best to be supportive and bettering myself in the process as well. So anyways I am a VERY picky eater and totally love meat, cheese, potatoes, and any other sort of carb imaginable as well...those items do not result in a very healthy diet. So I have decided to try and reduce my carb intake, eat only 3 meals and 3 snacks a day, and try to eat well rounded meals and snacks. I started this on Wednesday officially I guess. I was talking to a good friend of mine and I was trying to think of how I was gonna conquer the evil of junk food and he suggested setting a small goal first...like not eating junk food until Sunday and then going from there. For the clarification purposes..Junk food is candy, chips, desserts, and pop (which thankful I rarely drink). This plan is working in that making it to Sunday sounds manageable but at times I just want everything under the sun like...Cinnamon Rolls, Dorritos, Chocolate, etc. I have great people in my life that I can complain to about my cravings and they will encourage me that I CAN do it!!!! Thanks! :) I have been making meals and freezing them for quite sometime and that seems to work well it just the eating in between my meals and late night boredom eating. Also, I make a lot of meals but when you don't like many foods, like me, it is very hard to make well rounded meals. My meals tend to be heavy in fat or choloesterol or carbs or all of the above...NOT GOOD! I did shop online the other day for a few reasons...1. so that I wouldn't "hunger shop" my whole life savings away..haha 2. because I wanted to be able to plan meals with items I had. This seems to be working well. PLUS....I don't to haul groceries out in the cold (although that would be exercise). Anyways that is enough blabbing about this topic! Any thoughts about eating healthy or picky eating or about meals that can be made in crockpot well and/or that freeze well...please leave me a msg it would be greatly appreciated!

Uffda!!

Uffda!!! That is all I can say right now....I have felt on the verge of tears all night!!! I can't explain...I think it is a combination of some struggles with being out here, lack of sleep, being frustrated with myself, and feeling pulled in 900 directions at once! At this point I just want to go home and crawl in my bed with my heating pad and my snuggly blankets! This entry is not really worth reading because I am only venting and don't really have much to say I guess. I have been working on a menu for the next 2 months but now that I look back at it, it doesn't look real healthy and I need to be working on that...I feel like I am gaining weight faster than I blink! I also played some old school Nintendo at work tonight...LOVED it!! I have been reading a book called "Barefoot" by Elin Hildebrand and it is pretty good! This is just a random collection of thoughts at this point...I am trying to get some things down in writing so I don't have to think about them so much! I am out...soon to hit my pillow for a loooong time!!!

Happy New Year: Planning to NOT Plan!!!

So it is New Year's Eve (Well I guess New Years now) and I am working over nights. I have considered a blog for some time now but never really knew what I would talk about so I apologize if this is boring or lacks FaBuLoSiTy (I guess that would be false advertising! HaHa)! I don't usually have a definite New Year's resolution but this year I never even considered and it really didn't cross my mind. I feel like 2010 is going to be BIG and eXcItInG and full of Blessings so I am just going to jump in and deal with the highs and lows as they come. I am a HUGE planner and not a huge fan of change by any means...once I have a plan I will do anything to make sure that plan turns out as PLANNED...my family and boyfriend will agree with this fact. So, I guess even though I said I had no New Year's resolution it turns out I kind of do! I know that I will not be able to give it up my planning all together but I want to avoid missing out on oppurtunities and such because it is not in my PLAN so I will being do my best to relaxing a bit about somethings and become a bit more flexible...I can't make any promises because as I am writing this I am already thinking of ways to "plan" this resolution of "decreased PLANNING"...HaHa!! Anyways, I am out for now!! Ps. I think this blog could be fun because I always have so much on my mind...I can use this as my outlet! YAY! Happy New Year!!! :)
