Gettin' Healthy

Woohoo! My classes were canceled today! So, what did I do? I went to the market. See, I've been on a fast food diet for the past month (sooo not good for me...or anybody) so I decieded to get some food that's good for me. No more fast food for a loooooooong time, or maybe I'll just give it up. That'll be really hard for me because I am a fast food queen. Ok, let's just see if I can go without fast food for one month. If I can, I'll keep on not eating fast food and eventually just forget it completely. You heard me people, I, Tammy Suriwong, will not eat fast food for one month (or longer) starting today, October 10, 2005.

Anyway, if you're wondering what healthy foods actually taste good here's what I like...

I'm not much of a leafy green veggie eater so I eat lots of fruits and veggies that are other colors. I also have a major sweet tooth so I try to eat fruit or yogurt to satisfy my cravings. If I want to sweeten something, I use half a packet Splenda (trust me, a whole packet is way too sweet) instead of real sugar.

Usually, the more colorful the foods are in your diet, the better. So, just try a little of everything and see what tastes best to you. In case you don't know what to try, here's what I like (and also bought at the market today):

- hummus with red peppers (tastes great with rye crackers or 100% whole wheat pita bread)
- hummus with artichokes and garlic
- light yogurt (Yoplait is my favorite)
- cantaloupe
- Ready Pac of sliced, washed carrots and celery (you can save more money by getting the whole veggies and washing and cutting them on your own)
- apple cinnimon oatmeal
- cereal (Total)
- chocolate soymilk
- vanilla soymilk
- granny smith apples
- nectarines
- low fat string cheese (makes a great mid day snack)

Ok, so there's more sweet stuff than veggies, but it's a start for me. Give these foods a try and your body will thank you. Not only does eating healthy help you on the inside, but it helps you on the outside too because the condition of your inside reflects on the outside. Yay for good health! Woohoo!

How's it going so far? It's been 9 days since you've decided to do this. Also, it may be best to lay off the chocolate soymilk as it is very sugary, otherwise the list looks great!
