poptarts are banned from my shopping cart

My new employment requires me to wear tan pants... so today after my shower I dug to the bottom of my drawers to find all the tan pants I used to wear when I worked at Target.

Uh, less than half of them still fit me. Holy crap.

Reality check! My eating habits lately have been poor at best. Fast food, sugary snacks - I eat it all. I'm a skinny girl and always have been, but I feel like I've taken advantage of my remarkably fast metablism and abused my body. And now it's rebelling.

I've always been interested in nutrition. When I go to the store, I read labels and look for food color and high fructose corn syrup and partically hydrogenated oil and sucralose. Not that it really matters for what gets put in the cart though, seeing as I'm currently chowing down on a bowl of Chef Boyardee. Ugh, I'm ashamed of myself.

The Boyfriend is on the same page as me, but I'm sure his beer consumption is also playing a role here. We decided to try MGD 64 since it has less calories, but sadly discovered this meant it also had a lower alcohol content. Hey, you can't say we aren't trying to be proactive.

So starting, uh, tomorrow I'm going to start eating better. It's time to take control of my health and well-being!

Do you have any recipes or healthy snacks you'd like to share with me?

I can never find khaki pants because my legs are so freaking long. Damn me for being tall!

But I know how you feel. I have been eating unhealthy lately too. I came to that realization yesterday after getting a milkshake from McDonald's AFTER I had already had a nugget meal and a sweet tea. I'm starting to keep track of what I put in my body by making a food journal.

Ooh, a food journal. I like this idea! Although, I tried making a spending journal once and that failed miserably. Hopefully my food version won't have the same fate!
