BE REAL

I know it has been awhile since I last wrote. I wasn't feeling very real and there were a multitude of things in my life that were throwing me off. So this is my second attempt of writing here... and this time I plan to do so with as much honesty as I can.

I'm just your average American. Overweight and tired of it. I am ready to take control of my life and my health. I'm not sure if I am still looking to pursue a personal training certificate... but who knows, it may make it into my "to do" list.

I most definitely am looking to improve my health. I will be actively seeking information and keeping my eyes open for health topics and the like. Currently... this is my goal.

So that is that.

In other news... today I am making minestrone soup for dinner with rolls and salad. I was feeling super proud of myself earlier when I was in the kitchen chopping up actual vegetables. It is funny what a high you can get from that sort of thing. Plus the colors were just amazing. I'm not quite sure why I was so excited... but I guess that is good.



Like many Americans, one of my downfalls has been the fact that I eat out WAY too much. So much so that I feel that it has stifled some of my creativity. It has made me just a bit helpess... and I am so over that. Therefore,for the past week I have been actively fighting back.

Nothing complicated. In fact, today's slow cooker recipe is probably the most complicated I've gotten. I figure pretty much anything I make at home will most likely still be better than what I would buy in a restaurant.

So yeah... eat at home. That's my message for the day. Oh yeah, and it will save you big bucks! ;)
