Hi Peeps!
Sorry I haven't posted on here for a loooong time...I wish I had a plausible excuse but I don't.
This blog was set up so that I could record my adventure in switching to a whole food diet...and well, sometimes during adventures we stumble. And ok, I didn't just stumble, I fell off the wagon - and I didn't just fall off the wagon....I fell off the wagon, tumbled down a hill, plunged off a cliff, splashed into a huge lake, sank to the botttom and almost drowned! That's how far off the path to whole foods I got :) but I am happy to report that I am slowly swimming back to the top of the water again, and I will scale back up that cliff, walk back up that hill and climb back on that wagon again.
I am not so happy to report however that due to my inattentiveness (laziness) I am feeling like POOP! I am achy and tired and grumpy!!!!! AND I GAINED SO MUCH WEIGHT I AM DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF!!!!!!!
I also got really discouraged because whole food is STUPID expensive and I can't always afford the organic bananas at $1.29/lb when the non-organic variety is $0.79/lb! If I, as a single person making an okay salary can't always afford the best food - what the heck are families going to do? Or people who don't have the same grocery budget that I have...what are they going to do? I also found that I have had very little time to cook lately, and that is a huge problem when you're trying not to eat pre-packaged foods. So I am starting from scratch again. I am going to try to find a way to easily integrate a whole food lifestyle in with my 2011 self. I will buy the non-organic bananas and deal with it. :)
I hope you guys are doing well! There's a super YUMMY recipe for manicotti in this month's issue of clean eating magazine and I cannot wait to try it (even if it has FISH in it!)....that's step 1 of getting back on track!
Missed you!
