Three posts in one day?! Who can think at these speeds?!
This is to respond to Grape in the comment below a bit about the nutrition/exercise aspect of this blog.
To start with, I’m not all the way there yet. That’s a big “yet” because things are starting full-on tomorrow. Technically, I’ve changed my eating habits after a night of splurging on New Year’s Eve. However, I didn’t really take TPO into consideration with all this hullabaloo, so after a whole day of my newly developing eating habits, I’ve allowed him to choose what we’re having for dinner tonight, with the express understanding that from here on out, he gets very little say in what goes on the table.
Surprisingly, he’s ok with that arrangement (he doesn’t really have much of a choice, since going against it would mean that he is going to have to cook dinner for himself – something that is just not going to happen any time soon). And, of course, he picked a real “winner” for his Last Meal. In fact, I don’t think I could come up with a less healthy meal… including “deep fried butter patties in mayonaise sauce.”
For dinner tonight, we’re having Beer Battered Fish Sticks and Tater Tots with ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Not an ounce of green anywhere near the plate. I almost insisted that he add some sort of veggie to his dinner, but decided that since this is HIS last dinner, I might as well let him eat whatever he wants and not force anything on him. Though, I’ll probably be adding a salad for myself. And maybe not so much tots.
Tomorrow is my first official full day of no splurging. Lots of water, veggies, lean meats and no un-whole grains (I don’t know what they’re called, but basically any grains or starches in my life will now have to be whole). I have a video post planned for tomorrow or the next day (depending on how quickly I can get it all set up, edited and submitted for approval) – just something simple, but hopefully a vast improvement from the first one.
