Sometimes you just have to be real. I make lofty goals and plans far to often. Not that goals are a bad thing but to often I can get sidetracked or overwhelmed and sometimes I have to get real. Healthy eating is one of those things. I can get so caught up in something because I know people who are doing something or I read about it on my favorite blog. Then implement it only to realize that it just doesn't work for us and that once again I've reverted back to some good 'ol middle school peer pressure.
Butter was like that for me. Margarine is bad, bad, bad. Right? That's what I read... On a blog, on Facebook, from dear Dr. Mercola. Bad. Bad. Bad. Butter is good. Good. Good. It's real food. Traditional food. Yes, I decide that I would shun all artificial butter. We used real butter for everything. Then there was sugar. For quite a while we had been using Splenda. But once again the internet powers that be that I consulted said that was bad, bad, bad. So we just used sugar. I wanted to use other substitutes, but us was all so confusing and expensive. So we used sugar. Sugar and butter. Well, guess what happened? That's right, we got fat. Fat. Fatter. So, I've decided that being overweight... Okay... OBESE is far worse for ny health right now that margarine and fake sugar.
So, I'm back to Splenda and maple syrup and actually trying to cut sugar out. Taking vitamins and acidophilus to help with some yeast related issues. And water, lots of water. Did you know they say eight MINIMUM? It actually depends in your weight, so there may be a chance you need even more that. Also watching portion sizes and snacking. So there you have it, that's the real deal. I think it's so important to make each decision based on what your needs are. Not just by what someone else says is "the way".
So with a new blog is the desire to start taking more pics and thus just seemed like the perfect one for today. Can you believe the size of this egg? Wouch... Poor girl!
