This blog is for me to start the process of getting healthy. I have been watching Jamie Oliver's Fod Revolution and I cannot seem to get it off my brain.
As a supermarket checker I see all the different foods that come through my check stand and think about everything as it does. I see the stuff that Jamie has said is bad for kids in their school lunches and it makes me cringe. I for example had a store bought box dinner tonight and just had to think about it as it went into my mouth. I could read most of the things that were on the box but really... how good is it for me if it has so many things that I cannot even read.
My roommate is into healthy almost vegitarian eating with as organic as possible. Some of the things she eats, like tofu, I really don't foresee myself eating but having veggie stir fry instead of red meat seems a little healthier. Also working from a fresher pallet and less instant seems like a plan for now.
I have also decided to take on the challenge of running. As of now I don't think I could run a quarter of a mile without dying unless my life was actually on the line. I have the goal of running a marathon for my 30th birthday. It is just over four years away. I know that is a long ways away but if I set a goal hopefully I can get there. To start this goal I have joined the Nike+ community and gotten their ipod accessory so that I can track my progress.
My plan with this blog is to post my workout goals and progress. I also would like to start posting reciepies that I like to have a place to find good food.
If you're reading this... enjoy. I am hoping to inspire myself and if I do others.. that's a plus.
