Meatless week...

So it’s been about a week of being meat free and soda free...

And I am fine…the experience I had a child with the no meat eating thing has helped. I happen to love fish and that is allowed. I did have to make and executive decision to eat turkey, because I was cutting the birds out too, but if I am in a crisis turkey is alright to eat…chicken well I don’t like chick like that….

Some questions have come up, let us remember I love tacos…I mean I FREAKING LOVE TACOS…. My most favorite memories involve tacos…so what do I do about this? Well I found fake ground beef in the fake frozen meat isle…. So I will purchasing some of that soon so I can fill my taco fix…and if that turns out to suck I will have to have chicken in a can…yeah I know I hate chicken but when it comes from a can it’s not so bad, I use to do that too….ah Taco Night the best night….

Other problems that will occur in the future:

Cooking for the fam, I will have to cook separate meals now. They like meat, the worst part is that I like it too but for flavoring like take spaghetti, I have never liked sausage but the flavor in spaghetti and other things is great. So I guess I have to eat around…speaking of sausage what about my beloved Scrapple? As I like to say **** the bulls***… Imma eat scrapple every now and then…it’s not meat anyway its hair and toenails LMAO!!!!

Luckily and Honestly

Soda hasn’t been a problem either, I had stopped drinking root beer for lent anyway so that’s out of my mind, but I do have to literally tell myself do not buy soda when I go to a store for a drink. I was so use to buying a soda, and soda companies makes it hard too because soda is everywhere and there aren’t many options for others. I mean its like: “We serve all coke products, unsweetened tea and we have a special on Absolut vodka.” Like what?? YOU BEST BELIEVE I refuse to drink water from the faucets of Delaware…(my bathroom faucet yes don’t ask I just like it) so the drinks will be tricky and costly, especially since I love slurpees and they are just frozen sodas and lime-aide which are also sodas…smh….

Winning

So this week no meat no soda and I feel great! It’s probably the subtraction of soda that is helping the most….

As for the Gym…I plan on joining but homework has been more important….I have one more week to get through with class and then I can get into the gym, I will only have one class coming up so I will have time to actually go to the gym.

Is this life...the road to healthier living...

I just bought a Gatorade.  A GATORADE!  Seriously, Gatorade is one of those things that I can’t do….its right before water. But I am trying to do better. I am going to revitalize my whole food life. Well almost cause damn if imma give up cakes, anyway I have decided that I will (drum roll please) stop drinking soda!!! OMG SAY WHAT:

 Yeah they are no good, well actually ROOT BEER is great, but it is no good to my body so I am going to let them go. Not like entirely but for the most part wherever  I can substitute one for juice I will. Which is why I ended up with a Grape Gatorade, there were sodas and Snapple and knowing tea could cause a tremendous riot in my stomach I opted for Gatorade thinking it will give me energy or something …it would be almost as good as water for my body.

WAIT not finished on the changes:

I think I am going back to the vegetarian lifestyle. As a kid I never ate meat. I didn’t start getting into meat until I was in college (That’s what she said) But as a kid I had some strange food policies, which was no meat, wiping tomato sauce off pizza and skinning hotdogs.  I think I am going to stop eating red meat, slow my chicken intake which is limited anyway, and my pig intake and replace with fish fish fish. I may even switch my bread to gluten free bread or at least honey wheat.

Still more…

I think im going to join a gym…now this is the one thing that might get shut down. I don’t like the exercise thing, I do like lifting or weight training I did that once and was pleased with the results. Joining a gym would mean I am being serious(er) about this.  

Why?

I have a large stomach for a girl my age without kids. At times  can look preggers and I don’t think it is just fat, I think the foods especially soda and breads leave my stomach distended I feel like 48 instead of 28 sometimes.  I am 112 lbs (estimate) so why do I feel like there is fat around my heart? Why do I feel like there is fat surrounding my lungs? Because I am an obese person living in a skinny person’s body.  The obese person is winning.

This is a good Idea

I wanna feel good, make sure I have a healthy body for the future, and need a flat tummy and a toned body.  Sounds like I will have to spend time on a treadmill for the cardio to get my pulse rate up and my heart and lungs stronger.  I have to do something because I don’t want to be 48 one day, on oxygen.
