Hey, Miz.
It's me, Maria.
So basically this coming up week, I'll be changing my life. Spiritually and physically. In this post today, I'm gonna be focusing more so on the physical aspect, simply because it seems like the easiest to explain at this point in time. I have this friend and he's lost a ton of weight, knows a TON about living healthy and changing your lifestyle. He's walking proof that it is possible. Now, I'm not here actually trying to lose a lot of weight. I've just realized that living off ramen and flamin' hot cheetos for the rest of my life will probably have some adverse effects in the long run. Like an extra limb or something.
Plus, if I feel better, I'll look better. I'm going to also be incorporating exercise in this new change as well. I don't really have much of a reason not to. My apartment has a gym and until we move out, I might as well go to it. I'll run a mile without stopping! Eventually...
So, today my friend is priming me up for a shopping trip to the grocery. He made me list 20 base ingredients, whether I think they're healthy or not, and we're going to come up with foods and recipes that I will be happy eating. Apparently ice cream, and oreos don't count (lame). So, I stuck to the basics. Cheese, bread, meat, fish, yadda, yadda.
I guess we'll see how this all goes. For things to be simplified, here's a short list of things I don't like:
Seems easy? Too bad all those things seem to be in healthy stuff. The last obstacle is that I don't know how to cook anything that takes more than 4 minutes and can't be microwaved. So, wish me luck...
Are any of you guys on "diets"? Do you consider yourself healthy? Are you like me and just want to stuff your face with chocolate and Taco Bell 24/7?
It's me, Maria.
