Ive come to a decision this week. Im not going to obsess over how I eat. Like alot of people, women especially, I would often have feelings of guilt for indulging in something that wasnt low-fat, fat-free or grilled. I have a note on my fridge door that serves as a reminder for me, it reads as follows:

NO
coffee
alcohol
dairy
eggs
sugar
wheat
soy
processed food

This morning I had eggs and coffee for breakfast. Ive realized that I love food. I love cooking and growing and experimenting and trying something new any chance I get. I love REAL food though. I will avoid processed foods and I rarely drink alcohol, but I am a firm believer that REAL sugar is better than articial sweetener any day ( in moderation of course). I dont think a couple of sodas a month are going to do me in and I enjoy the occasional indulgence of ice cream or chocolate sheet cake. I will, however, be scheduling my trips to the gym into my week. It has to be a trade off. If I want to be happy and not starving I have to do it. And make myself. I planned all day to go tonight after dinner. We ate, then I had to let my food settle so I wouldnt upset my stomach while working out, then I had to check my garden for slugs, then I had to gather some info for my brother, then I had to load the dishwasher, then it was 10:30. I have a key to the gym so I can go anytime Id like but I have to be up early with the boys so I really need to sleep. Now its 11:17pm and Im on my computer. Excuses excuses. Im planning on going after lunch tommorow. :)
