Ya’ll I haven’t Tumbled in like a year.
I’m sorry.
Anyway, I’m setting some new goals for myself. As probably none of you know, I’ve been working out lately to lose a little weight and gain super human strength. So far, it’s been a slow start. As probably most of you know, I am a food lover. LOVER. I come from a large family of food lovers. These things don’t really go hand-in-hand. So I am committing to start a non-processed foods diet for the month of August and hopefully more months after that(little goals first).
Why August, you ask? My darling boyfriend who can eat whatever he wants and still be 3% body fat will be gone for some ass-kicking Army training. We usually try to eat dinners together and I am the only one with cooking knowledge and he is super picky. SUPER PICKY. I love him, but it’s true. This way I can eat all the yucky veggies and quinoa I want without him going “Ewwwwwwwwww what’s that….” and then ordering a cheeseburger.
I’m going to take this time to turn some things around. No more fast food- that love has forsaken me, mostly in my belly region. No more frozen dinners packed with addicting salt, no more boxed dinners, no more canned sauces and no more soda. I’m not a huge soda lover, but nothing goes better with a fast food meal then a fountain coke.
So I’ve been doing some research and came across some great blogs to help me along the way. Pantomime Papers and Mommypotamus. I don’t know these people, but they seem to be lovers of good food and healthy choices. Also, Penny from Pantomime Papers is quite funny and super adorable. Heather from Mommypotamus is a little on the “crunchy” side, but I kind of like that and her recipes for busy moms is great for busy non-moms too. Also, I love a good natural remedy.
Sharing is caring, so I am sharing my goals with you internet folk as a means of accountability and maybe these healthy gal blogs will inspire some of you guys too. But mostly, it’s to help keep myself in line and out of the drive-thru.
XOXO
Emma
