Ok, so I am not off to a good start, but today was pretty good. I took my vitamins (Skull reminded me, I think he tires of my constant lack of energy) and I went grocery shopping and got lots of fruit and veggies (forgot raisins though) and now I am making a BIG pot of tomato sauce, but the fruit/veggie count for today (including what I will have with dinner) is 3 servings..unless I have some salad with dinner....that would bring it to 4...maybe fruit for dessert? that would be 5. Hmm, I just looked up the food pyramid and for my height, weight and activity level I should eat 8 1/2 cup servings of fruits and veggies each day (3 servings fruit, 5 veg)....I think I will stick with 5 for now...
Also I didn't exercise today, other then walking to Food 4 Less and I said that doesn't count nor was I up before 9...or even 10...but this will be a meat free dinner YEA

I have returned
Fear not, o faithful blog readers, for I have returned! I have been a little absent lately mostly because of being busy at work and well, kind of lazy and also, lets be honest I am a pretty boring person so its not like I have tons to write about. Anyway, I have also been sick, and in being sick I thought about myself when I am healthy and realized that I am not very healthy....even while...being...healthy. So I have vowed to myself to make some changes in my life (these are NOT New Years Resolutions btw, their timing is coincidental) and they are:
1) I will wake up by 9 am everyday (shut up Dad, that is an accomplishment)
2) I will spend 15 minutes of each day engaging in activity for activities sake (aka dancing, yoga stretching...but walking to work does not count)
3) I will actively try to consume 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day
4) I will remember to take my vitamins
5) I will complete at least 1 craft project a week
6) I will have at least 1 meat free night a week
Looking at it seems like a lot but its just 4 things each day and 2 things each week, each just a little bit of a change from my current schedule (ie waking up at 9 instead of 10, having raisins instead of gummy snacks etc).
The reason I am telling you this? I really need someone to keep me accountable...so please just poke at me every once in a while, and I will try and make updates on here.
