Couch 26

I took a small step toward health even if I'll never be vegan. The other night, I craved carrots. So I bought some yesterday. My body is usually telling me something when it craves healthy food. I try to feed it healthy ASAP.

Wow...I mention my ex-GF and her kids and suddenly she starts chatting with me on FB. Hmmm...

When I was on a low carb diet, I noticed how much more expensive it was to eat as a vegetarian...but I realize, though, that it was all about choices. I like my veggies fresh - not frozen or canned...I try to get whatever is on sale that particular week that I'm shopping. I don't care for tofu or beans....and ended up with lots of Morningstar Farms type products (pretty much just the burgers, maybe veggie sausage).

Problem with fresh veggies, though, is that I'll get bogged down with either migraines, life or depression - and they end up rotting in the fridge before I get around to cooking them.

I had some extra stamina today when getting groceries, so I made a commitment to myself that I would meal-plan so that the food I bought doesn't get wasted.

Even then, I only got asparagus, peppers, zucchini and salad.

I calculated my meals for today - and it came to $4.60 (and $2 of it was asparagus)...

Wish I could help Sila, but I'm not sure. I have major food weight and body image issues so I would just totally ignore me when I spew about food and what I eat or don't eat. There are a lot of healthy eaters on the couch though who may be able to give you an alternative.

Umm, that's a little weird.

The kids are adorable, btw!

I don't typically eat breakfast...Although I know that's not good for me....*shrug*

I really gotta get back to eating better....exercising...ya know, the stuff that people do when they want to be healthy....

One day we were coming back from DC on I-95 and passed the Oscar Mayer Weiner mobile. We were so stoned we had to pull over to stop laughing.

MUE... Every nutritionist I ever had always said to eat within 30 minutes of waking up otherwise your matabolizm lays dormet for the day. So I always eat breakfast if nothing else.

I generally don't eat breakfast. When I'm feel ambitious, I make hashbrowns. Just the act of shredding the potatoes is soothing to me.

I have coffee with sugar and cream. That counts, right?

yup, that is usually my breakfast MKAC!! Well, and in the kinders get snack at 9am so I eat whatever happens to be for snack. Totally healthy!

Hey... As far as I'm concerned coffee is a veggie

Wow. So, I better start waking up at noon....

This is good to know! Now I'll have to factor in breakfast foods...LOL

OK, one more link and I'm done grossing everyone out for the evening. Don't look if you're squemish. Banner sausage, my dad used to eat it. Thankfully, my parents never made us eat it.

New couch new couch new couch. Who didn't have a turn to start one yet?

We were poor to. But we didn't catch our stuff. We just didn't eat. Well we did but it was crap.

Murray hasn't started one...any volunteers?

-hides in the corners of old couch- We wear out these couches fast.

HAHAHAHA....TOTALLY....His contributions to the evening did not help my feelings about missing my group's very first open mic night. LOL

My ultimate revenge will be becoming a famous stand-up comedian....with my ex being the butt of some of my jokes.....LOL

I've never started a couch....
