Eating better.

The one weak spot during this whole attempt to get into better shape has been the eating thing. I mean, I come from a long line of folk who like to cook almost as much as they like to eat. Cakes, cookies, entrees, sides… We do it all. And quite nicely I might add. Then there is the whole thing about me deciding that whatever I did to get in shape, I would have to maintain it. Be it gym membership, change in diet, whatever, and I’m sorry, I need more than twigs and berries. Shoot. This week I came across two people who really made me think about that.

The first one was my younger sister. She has joined a gym at work and she is doing big things. She’s eating a lot healthier than I was, and she still lives in the South, with much greater access to all of that good cooking. Then during a convo with Diva, she told me how she is going to be streamlining her diet in preparation for her description defying holiday plans. I decided to incorporate a lot more fruits and vegetables into my diet this week. So far so good. 🙂 Oh yes, and for Christmas, I’ll also incorporate more veggies and fruit, but uh, I’ll also be eating REAL food. Hee hee hee.
